British Prime Minister David Cameron has promised voters a referendum on continued membership in the EU. He would like to be performed in June after a campaign in which nawoływałby: "We have improved the Union, so let us stay in it". Yesterday, Donald Tusk, head of the European Council, presented all EU countries sketch of the "improvements", ie a compromise with Cameron. It should be unanimously adopted at the EU Summit February 18-19.

- When we started talking, it was said that the elements of our plan are impossible to achieve. Today, they are stored in the document! - He boasted yesterday, Prime Minister Cameron. Its flagship demand to suspend benefits to workers from other EU countries (largely from Polish) for the first four years of their stay in Britain, had no chance, he explicitly denies the principle of non-discrimination of EU treaties. But the European Commission in recent days agreed that Cameron could use the "emergency brake", which allows restricted benefits (if the "big pressure on the welfare system"). They could be suspended or severely reduced by up to four years. As for the "in-work benefits", that is, first of all allowances for low wages, whose main objective is - as explained London - activating long-term unemployed. This use them immigrants from outside the Islands, which do not need to activate.

On the pull of the brake would have to accept the vote of ministers from the Union. The EC has already stated that the current situation in London gives warranted.

This painful reform would cover - which, until recently, there was some - only immigrants newly entering the labor market in the UK. Britain, which is not the Poles who already work there. Probably only EU summit will decide how long London will be able to maintain the benefits quarantine. Cameron wants her for coming over the next seven years, Brussels - four years. Furthermore, the text Tusk - instead receive child benefit if, for example. Live in Poland with his grandparents - proposes adjusting them up to the cost of living in Poland.

- I appreciate that this text can be seen a step in our direction. These improvements to the initial proposal - Minister tells us. Europe Konrad Szymanski. But the reserves that we are "at the beginning of the process" of negotiations and the draft agreement should be changed a lot. - However, we consider this text as a starting point for negotiations - he said.

On Friday, Cameron arrives in Warsaw for talks with Prime Minister Beata Awl.

The British demanded the strengthening of the role of national parliaments in the EU and that is why Tusk has proposed a system of "red card". If the parliaments of EU countries a majority of 55 per cent. Vote (each has two votes, in Poland - one for the Sejm, one for the Senate) consider that the project violates the subsidiarity principle (that the EU wants to interfere in their own business), EU countries should this project be rejected. This strengthening of existing legislation.

In addition, London is to obtain a clear declaration that it is not obliged to deepen political integration with the rest of the Union. A clause from the preamble of the Treaty of Lisbon for "creating an ever closer union among the peoples of Europe" has grown in the UK to become a symbol of the Eurocrats lurking on the sovereignty of the British.

polish the (perhaps only at the top) waits mechanism that would help countries outside Euro protect their interests, among others, in matters financial sector. The countries of the Euro-Land have a majority of votes in the Council of the EU and London has long been fears that they will be blind to reject its demands. Therefore, he would like the right to refer the hottest issues on the agenda of the EU summit. - Scares that we want a right of veto. But this is not true. We mean the right to debate - says our correspondent from the British government circles.

Recent polls show that most Britons want to vote against Brexitowi, but experts warn that nothing is certain.
