German Chancellor Angela Merkel stated that she will work constructively with British Prime Minister David Cameron on the reform of the European Union.

She reiterated her desire for Britain to remain in the Union.

"Where there's a will, there's a way," Merkel said at a press conference with Cameron in Berlin.

She added that she wants to hold constructive talks and that she wants to find a solution, Reuters reported.

Merkel and Cameron dodged questions about whether changes to the EU's founding act could be implemented before Britain holds a referendum on membership of the union, while the British prime minister said the "substance" of the reforms was the most important factor.

Cameron, whose Conservative Party won the elections held in May, plans to call a referendum on EU membership by the end of 2017 and, as he previously announced, review his country's role in the Union by then.

On Thursday, by the way, it was announced in London which question the British people will answer in the referendum that will be held by the end of 2017. "Should Great Britain remain in the European Union", will be the question, announced yesterday by Queen Elizabeth II, presenting the plan of David Cameron's new government in parliament.
