Cameron in Warsaw to push for EU reform

David Cameron will be in Warsaw for a few hours to meet Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz and discuss EU reform plans.

Cameron will have breakfast with his Polish counterpart and will try to convince Ewa Kopacz to back his government in making changes to EU laws prior to a referendum on EU membership in the UK slated for 2017.

The British PM is on a whistle-stop tour of at least four countries in an attempt to find backers for his government’s plan.

He will later be meeting German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin.

On Thursday, Cameron met French President Francois Hollande.

Ahead of the meeting in Warsaw, deputy Foreign Minister Rafał Trzaskowski said that changes to the treaty would be a very difficult.

“The European Union needs Great Britain, the discussion will not be easy,” he told the BBC.

“As far as treaty changes are concerned or the introduction of discriminatory measures, that would be a red line for Poland.”

He added: “If every country comes with a shopping list to change European Union policies, that will be the end of the European construction, it will simply implode.”
