New Govt, Same Old Problem: Germans Reject Treaty Change Before Brexit Vote
MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Cameron’s dinner with the French president will follow a lunch meeting with Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte.

On Friday, the UK prime minister will also meet with his Polish counterpart Ewa Kopacz, and then will complete his diplomatic tour by meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

Cameron’s meetings with European leaders come in light of the United Kingdom threatening to walk out of the European Union.

After his UK May 7 general election victory, the British prime minister pledged to hold a referendum by the end of 2017 to let voters decide whether the country should remain part of the European bloc.

Study Shows Brexit Would Hurt Germany More Than Grexit
Cameron seeks to revise UK relations with the European Union ahead of the referendum, pushing Brussels to reform the system of contributions to the bloc's budget and to grant greater powers over migration control to member-state governments.

Earlier media reports suggested that Hollande and Merkel had agreed on a pact to integrate the eurozone without reopening EU treaties, sidestepping Cameron's demands to renegotiate the Lisbon Treaty, a document ensuring more freedom of movement by citizens among EU member states and more control from Brussels over asylum applications.
