British Prime Minister David Cameron said today that he believes that the President of the European Council, Donald Tusk, will help him achieve the kind of changes to European agreements, which Tusk recently said was "mission impossible."
Tusk believes that Cameron could have a very difficult task in persuading other countries to accept changes to EU agreements, if he is re-elected next month, reports Reuters.
Answering a press question after the EU summit, Cameron said, alluding to the Hollywood film "Mission Impossible," that "Tom Cruise normally wins in the end, he's a little smaller than me, but I hope I can be just as effective."
"If I come back after this election, I will have a mandate for change in Europe and that mandate will be very powerful. I know Donald will help me implement the necessary EU reforms," Cameron added.
Tusk said today that he hopes to find a solution to British concerns about the policy of blocs that exist within existing EU treaties, adding that he is also ready to discuss the "impossible mission" of changing the agreement.
Cameron has promised that if he wins the May election, he will renegotiate Britain's relationship with Europe, on issues such as immigration and holding a referendum in 2017.
I want to find a solution to British concerns, but of course with respect for the basic values of the EU, Tusk said at the press conference after the summit.
My opinion is that we must try to find good solutions for Great Britain under the current agreements and, if necessary, we can also discuss the so-called to the "impossible mission", with the good will to win in the end, he said, referring to the amendment of the EU agreement.
