Poland and the United Kingdom disagree about the EU reforms proposed by Cameron




The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom, David Cameron, and the Polish leaders said on Thursday that there is goodwill, but no compromise between the two parties regarding the changes proposed by the British government to the rules of social welfare the European Union, which could affect immigrants Polish workers in the UK.

Cameron spoke on the night of Wednesday and early Thursday with Polish leaders, seeking support for an EU reform package. The UK will make a referendum at the end of 2017 to decide whether to continue in the block. Cameron wants to continue, if you can ensure certain reforms.

The Prime Minister Beata SZYDLO, in his first meeting with a foreign leader in Warsaw since his Conservative government took over last month, warned before the visit that Cameron's plans to cut social benefits for migrant workers as part of the reform more EU wide, were something "unacceptable." On Thursday, the tone between the two was more friendly.

"We are seeking an agreement," Cameron said. According to him, it did not reach any agreement, but there is "goodwill" and the desire of his country to continue on a "European Union reformed". The pair agrees, for example, in reducing red tape in the EU and the strengthening of national parliaments. But the Polish government resists any idea that can limit the free movement of their citizens within Europe and to any cuts in social benefits. Since Poland entered the EU in 2004, more than 2 million Poles have left the country in search of work abroad, especially in the UK and Ireland. The position of Warsaw is the Poles work hard in the UK and contribute to the economic growth of this country and that any cut in benefits would be discrimination. "The free movement of people is a crucial one for Poland," said the prime minister
