European Union and Social Welfare

Donald Tusk: Cameron claimed that, under the deal, Britain would be allowed to stay on EU sidelines if other nations seek a closer union and has been guaranteed its social welfare would win more protection from unfair EU migrant claims, according to Toronto Star. He also pledged the economy will prosper outside the euro area. The agreement Cameron won is a key stepping stone to the in-out referendum in Britain that could come as soon as this summer. This is enough for me to recommend that the United Kingdom remain in the European Union having the best of both worlds, Cameron said after 31 hours of negotiations. He declined to say when he might call the referendum, although June 23 is thought to be a likely date.EU President Donald Tusk said the deal didn’t come easily during two days of long and heated discussions during which leaders haggled over detail and fundamental issues. Turning our back on Europe is no solution at all, he said, adding that the new deal would guarantee for a live and let live approach that will fit Britain like a glove. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
