The main topic of the agenda became the British proposals to reform the EU. The Czech Republic supported the London’s idea of ​higher competitiveness of the EU, a greater role on the national parliaments in decision-making processes and the involvement of non-eurozone countries into adopting common strategic decisions. However, the Czech Republic representatives strongly rejected any measures that could have a discriminatory nature of the free movement of workers. The current Czech government has indicated its willingness to negotiate the terms of lowering the risk of abuse of welfare systems. A part of the agenda also became bilateral topics, especially the issue of sale of the Czech aircraft L - 159 to Iraq and the issue of certification of Czech Škoda cars in the British isles. David Cameron promised to pay special attention to these two concerns. Both sides also discussed current foreign policy issues, with special emphasis on migration and the fight against Islamic extremism. Bohuslav Sobotka confirmed his participation at the donor conference on Syria to be held in London on the 4^th of February 2016.
