Prime Minister Dacian Ciolos said on Wednesday that during his meeting with British Premier David Cameron, he insisted on the need to finding solutions in connection with the free movement of workers in the European Union that would not come against the social rights conferred through the European legislation, showing that most of the Romanians who work in Great Britain pay their taxes. "I have talked with the British Premier (...) about the propositions the United Kingdom has to improving the activity within the EU and to thus have a positive approach of the UK as regards its staying in the EU. They are mostly right, their propositions could be supported by Romania except for the matter of the rights of the workers in the EU, the free movement of workers, of the employees. Here I have insisted on the need to finding solutions that would not come in contradiction to the rights that are already conferred by the European legislation, in particular when it comes to the social rights, given that most of the Romanians who go to Great Britain, they go there to work, so they pay taxes and I believe that in the future solutions could be found to consider these preoccupations of Romania," said Dacian Ciolos at the Victoria Palace. He added that they have also tackled the topic of the bilateral relations between the two countries and the need to boost the economic cooperation between Romania and Great Britain. Cameron met Romanian leaders in Bucharest then headed to Warsaw to speak with Poland's new leaders. In Poland, Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski called Cameron's plans to limit welfare benefits to migrant workers "a point of contention." Prime Minister Beata Szydlo told reporters she believes the proposed cuts are "not acceptable" but says she is open to discussing the options, AP reports. Despite the divisive issue of benefits, Cameron, a Conservative, will find much in common with the new conservative leadership in Poland, which is Euroskeptic and does not want to adopt the euro currency any time soon.
