In the subsequent conversation which lasted a little longer than planned, it might be gone also to the planned UK referendum on the fate of the country in the European Union. Prime Minister David Cameron will try to negotiate reforms in the EU. The people shall then vote until the end of 2017 at the latest whether the country wants to remain in the community.
