Tusk tables proposal for Cameron

European Council President Donald Tusk has presented  British PM David Cameron with a draft deal regarding the UK's reformed membership in the EU. It met with Cameron's approval. Tusk said in his statement that the EU proposes, among others, "changes to EU legislation as regards the export of child benefits and the creation of a safeguard mechanism to respond to exceptional situations of the inflow of workers from other member states." This approach, as well as the exact duration of the application of such a mechanism will be discussed further. Previously, Cameron proposed a four year ban on in-work benefits for EU migrant workers could come into force immediately if the UK votes to remain in the organization. "If I could get these terms for EU membership I would opt to join if UK were not a member, Cameron said. He also said that child benefits for children living outside the UK would be paid at local rates (i.e., the rate in Poland, or wherever) not at the UK rate," PM David Cameron stated in his speech. PM Cameron will visit Poland and Denmark on Friday,  February 5 to persuade the other 27 EU leaders to accept Tusk's package in Brussels on February 18-19.If he can get an agreement in February, he is expected to hold a referendum in June on whether Britain should remain in the EU.
