BERLIN: German chancellor Angela Merkel has warned British Prime Minister David Cameron he is approaching a "point of no return" with the European Union over his immigration proposals, a report on Sunday said.
News weekly Der Spiegel writes in its latest edition that Merkel told Cameron on the sidelines of an EU summit last month that his moves to limit an influx of EU migrant workers undermined core principles of the bloc.
If he continues, Germany would no longer fight to keep Britain in the EU.
"For the first time, Cameron is pushing his country toward a 'point of no return' in terms of its EU membership, the chancellery and the foreign ministry believe," Spiegel said, citing unnamed German government officials.
If Cameron imposes a quota on EU citizens moving to Britain, "then that would be it", the publication quoted a government source as saying.
Can Britain with a population of sixty millions do well minus the half billion+ EU market?
All opinions welcome.
