UK PM David Cameron mentioned during a press statement issued on Friday that he is confident to be able to win concessions from European Union leaders before going for a referendum about whether or not Britain should stay in the bloc. Now that the Conservative Party has won an unexpected majority in a May 7 election, Cameron is promising to renegotiate Britain’s relationship with the EU before holding a promised referendum by the end of 2017.
In culmination of his initial talks with some EU leaders at a summit of EU and ex-Soviet states in the Latvian capital on Friday, Cameron confessed that his proposals did not receive a very warm welcome. He stated that “I’m not going to say I was met with a wall of love,” adding that “we have some serious problems with the way the current European set-up works … and we should be able to discuss them.” However, he stressed that “I am confident of an outcome. It is not going to be easy, these are difficult problems we are grappling with.”
Cameron is inclined to restrict EU citizens’ access to Britain’s welfare system, opt out of “ever closer” union inside the bloc and to cut EU “red tape.” However, several key countries are reluctant to make any more concessions to London since it already does not participate in the euro currency or the passport-free Schengen area. He alleged that “I have always said that if I don’t get what I think we need, I rule nothing out.”
