EU referendum: Prime Minister David Cameron says UK is still to reach an agreement with Poland on benefit curbs for EU migrants
The United Kingdom and Poland are still grappling to try and find a compromise over Prime Minister David Cameron's call to curb benefits for European Union migrants.
Speaking at a joint press conference, Polish Prime Minister Beata Szydlo said she did not see "eye-to-eye" with Cameron on the issue, but does want to see the UK stay inside the EU.

"Allowing people the freedom to make decisions on free movement, where they want to live, where they want to work… these are the main pillars of the European Union and the reason why the European Union was established," Szydlo said.
Curbing benefits to EU migrants for four years is a key part of Cameron's treaty change demands, the other three components of which are increasing competition, the issue of sovereignty, and protecting the interests of those not in the Eurozone.
The announcement comes after European Council President Donald Tusk wrote to Cameron to say there had been "good progress" in the renegotiation efforts, but that there is "presently no consensus" on what Tusk called "the fourth basket on social benefits and the free movement of persons", which "is the most delicate and will require a substantive political debate at our December meeting."

Tusk said the European Council should be able to sign off a "concrete proposal" in February of next year.
The Prime Minister is currently in Poland for renegotiation talks ahead of the In/Out referendum, promised before the end of 2017.
