I wish to congratulate David Cameron on his re-appointment as Prime Minister of the United Kingdom following yesterday's elections.

The United Kingdom plays a key role in ensuring that Europe has a common sense agenda,  keeping the emphasis on a competitive economy through an effective Single Market, non-intrusive regulation, openness to trade with other nations, and a confident foreign policy. Objectives which I share.

I count on the new British Government making the case for the United Kingdom's continued membership of the European Union. In that I stand ready to help. I am deeply convinced that there is no better life outside the European Union, for any country. A better EU is in the interest not only of Britain but of every Member State.

The European Union is faced with challenging times ahead. The UK's voice counts in defining the future of Europe. I look forward to continued close cooperation with Prime Minister Cameron.
