Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor and Francois Hollande are striving for the good of the EU. As the two foresee the greater good in retaining the unity of EU member nations with the common currency, they restrain from t David’s stand. This development is looked forward as a blow to David. There hardly, seems any possibilities of reconsidering the Lisbon treaty with Britain's perspective which demands for a special status for it and its position in the EU. Mr. David was clear about the possibilities of the visit of the four capitals. His demand for changes in the treaties include prevention of benefits of the migrants like government tax credits and child benefit-for four years after migration to the United Kingdom. Another demand of Mr. David to the EU, is to provide the U.K. with special protection against Eurozone stitch ups and a special opt out. This would keep Britain away from being ' an ever closer union'.
The German Chancellor and the French
president seem to be more concerned about the greater good of the majority of
the EU rather than the enthusiasm of the few. Subsequently, the existing form
of the EU would hardly invite any modification. On the other hand , the British
prime minister, Mr. Cameron insists on reopening of the treaties to enable the
eurozone to provide a congenial atmosphere to the Britain to reshape its (
Britain) relations with the EU and repatriate powers from Brussels. For
Cameron, the wind blows in opposite direction as EUmembers and senior officials
in Brussels vehemently oppose Cameron’s demand to reopen the Lisbon treaty.
Mr words of Mr. Jean Claude Juncker seem to pacify the British sentiment. He assures Cameron that
he is looking forward to address the British concern through more discussions.
Nevertheless, hardly, would he compromise with the unanimous spirit of the
members on the other side.

On Thursday, a day after
the state opening of parliament, Cameron, he flew around Europe to meet the Danish prime minister, Helle
Thorning-Schmidt, in Copenhagen, the Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte, in the
Hague and Hollande in Paris. The following day he planned to meet the Polish prime
minister, Ewa Kopacz, in Warsaw before going to Berlin to see Merkel. He aim was to speak to all other leaders of member states before the June summit.
In an attempt to reinforce the relation, Mr. David gave a vent to his feelings during his talks with Dutch prime minister, Mark Rutte
in the Hague. Hague, which forms the first capital of his itinerary of Mr. Cameron's whirlwind tour, was expected to give him scope for renegotiation of the terms of the membership of the United Kingdom. Mr. Cameron, diligently, inserted the vital factors that make the reform crucial. He mentioned the need for flexibility, the growth of the member nations, and the need for generating employment.
The second halt of David's itinerary, Paris, Foreign secretary, Mr. Philip Hammond
, sounded an alarm that the U.K. are more likely to opt leaving the EU..
He, however, instilled confidence that the government would play an important role in bringing the necessary changes. Drawing the attention towards the rigidity of some European partners, he said that they too would get negotiated, in course of time, before the final decision was taken. He gave a positive note that a favourable package would be negotiated which would address the concern of the people of the U.K.. At the same time, he reminded the efforts of France and Germany about retaining the treaty that is free from fundamental changes.
The compassion of Francois Hollande to Mr.David that there was still 'a lot to work through'
before the agreement was reached on the EU reform. Calling his intention an effort to make the EU more competitive, and to address the concerns of the people of Britain, Mr, David felt that the status quo is not good, and he evinced interest in bringing changes for the good of , not only Britain but also the other member nations. He concluded that the spirit of closer intergration should go hand in hand with the priorities of the member nations, which would give solutions that would reach upto the expectations of the people.
Mr. David's visit to Paris was responded by Merkel's soothing statement, 'Where there is a will, there is a way'. Further, her words that she did not rule out treaty change turned out to be a welcome relief to the British prime minister.
