British Prime Minister David Cameron has decided that the referendum on Great Britain's membership in the European Union will be held in June 2016, writes the British newspaper "The Independent" today, referring to sources in the Government in London.
The Independent writes that Cameron will announce this accelerated plan in his speech at the annual congress of his Conservative Party in October.
The prime minister is said to have concluded that Brussels will be more willing to approve changes to EU regulations and work benefits for migrants from other EU countries after negotiations over the loan to Greece, where the EU leadership has shown it is prepared to do more to avoid one country leaving the bloc. .
Brussels' reluctance to allow a country to leave the European project has encouraged government officials to believe that the reforms they are seeking will be approved.
Downing Street sources confirm that Cameron is now confident that European leaders will accept the need for change and that they want Britain to continue to play a leading role in the eurozone.
Anti-EU sentiment has risen in Great Britain following accusations that the country's welfare system is under pressure due to a large influx of migrants from other, less developed, EU countries.
