EU: Poles refuse PM’s migrant ‘reforms’

DAVID CAMERON failed to secure the support of Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz yesterday for his draconian plans to restrict benefits for migrant EU workers.

No 10 claimed that Mr Cameron and Ms Kopacz had found “much they could agree on” during the first of the British PM’s vaunted EU reform talks in Warsaw but that plans for benefit reforms needed more work.

“On immigration and welfare, Prime Minister Kopacz welcomed the PM’s commitment to respect the principle of free movement,” a Downing Street spokesman said.
