British Prime Minister David Cameron repeated today his appeal for limited social assistance within the European Union (EU), assessing that this type of reform would be beneficial for the whole of Europe.
"We want the welfare system not to become something that will attract people to the UK because we are already feeling the pressure of excessive immigration over the last few years," said Cameron, who is on a visit to Germany where he met representatives of the Christian Social Union (CSU), the Bavarian the sister party of Chancellor Angela Merkel's ruling Christian Democratic Union (CDU).
After Germany, Cameron will pay a visit to Hungary, where he will talk with the Prime Minister there, Viktor Orbán.
The British Prime Minister's trip to Europe is part of his campaign to gain as many supporters as possible for the reforms required by Great Britain as a condition for remaining in the EU.
Cameron has promised a referendum on membership in 2017, but British media reported that the vote could be held in July this year if the two sides reach an agreement.
Great Britain wants a more fundamental change in the EU's social and economic rules and agreements among its members so that states gain more independence in decision-making at the expense of the institutions in Brussels.
