David Cameron is touring the EU to try and stop a Brexit by rallying support for treaty negotiations
Cameron promised deliver a in/out EU referendum by 2017, with the simple question "Should the United Kingdom remain a member of the European Union?", but his Conservative party is hoping to negotiate better terms and conditions for Britain's membership, rather than exiting the 28-nation bloc.
He is now hoping to drum up support for Britain's bid for membership reform by visiting the bloc's 27 other leaders by the EU summit in June to deliver his side of the argument.
The first people Cameron is set to meet is Dutch Prime Minister Mark Rutte, French President Francois Hollande, Polish Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz, and German Chancellor Angela Merkel.
However, his meetings with Hollande and Merkel may be slightly awkward, after it was widely reported that Germany and France sidestepped Cameron's demands to renegotiate the Lisbon Treaty and instead sealed a pact to "integrate the eurozone without reopening the EU's treaties" earlier this week.
The Lisbon Treaty is the successor to the European Union Constitution, which became law in 2009. It includes heightened powers for the European Commission, European Parliament and European Court of Justice. It also opened the doors for more freedom of movement between EU members and greater control from Brussels over the final say on asylum applications.
In a press statement, the Prime Minister's office said that the choice for voters "should not be on the basis of the status quo but on a reformed relationship with the EU that the PM is determined to deliver".
