The Prime Minister of Great Britain, David Cameron, today did not rule out the possibility of Great Britain leaving the EU if there is no agreement on the reforms that London is asking from Brussels.
In Warsaw, after a conversation with Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo, Cameron said that it would be best for both the British and Europe to stay in the European Union, but that he does not rule out any possibility if the talks on reforms fail.
"We see the reforms, they are taking place before our eyes. We want Great Britain to remain in the reformed EU, but if that doesn't work, I don't rule out anything," said Cameron, who came to Poland to seek support for the reforms that the official London. He arrived from Bucharest.
Cameron pointed out that in the last 24 hours he sees a lot of good will, and also that he is satisfied with the answers he previously received from the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, and Poland's support for strengthening the role of national parliaments and Great Britain's request that Europe help it develop, not to hold her back.
"We believe that the Europe of nation states is important, that its strength lies in its diversity," Cameron said and warned that the goal of everyone in Europe is not the constant deepening of integration.
At a press conference in Warsaw, Polish Prime Minister Beata Šidlo expressed optimism that a compromise solution will be found for Great Britain's demands and that a solution will also be found for the plan to reduce immigration and pressure on the social system.
Beata Šidlo labeled as unacceptable measures such as the right to benefits from the social system for immigrants only after they have been paying taxes in Great Britain for four years.
"We accept the right of Great Britain to make sovereign decisions in the social field, but we want the right to freedom of movement to be respected," said Beata Šidlo and added that for Poland it is a fundamental principle of the EU that must be respected, regardless of what official Warsaw has understanding for the complicated current situation in Europe.
Ahead of David Cameron's visit to Bucharest and Romania, unofficial information appeared in Poland that, in the search for a compromise, Poland could make concessions when it comes to social benefits for children of immigrants, but only those who are not with their parents in Great Britain.
"We need to search for common solutions, not create new divisions in the EU. Solidarity has two sides. All countries have the right to express their views and the right to respect their specificities," said Beata Šidlo.
Cameron and Šidlo also talked today about the situation in Ukraine and, as Cameron said, how the EU should oppose Russian propaganda.
The British Prime Minister said after the meeting that Great Britain wants to contribute even more to defense and strengthening the presence on NATO's eastern flank.
Cameron ends his visit to Poland today with talks with Polish President Andrzej Duda.
