All EU leaders opposed to restricting benefits

The unelected president of the EU Council, Donald Tusk, has told MEPs that every EU member state is opposed to restricting in-work benefits for EU immigrants and that David Cameron will have to give up on the idea.

It also looks like he's got to wait until February to see what bones he's going to be tossed to spin into a "victory" after Angela Merkel phoned him up and told him it's not going to happen before Christmas.

Presumably in-work benefits are available to ALL European citizens wherever they live. Why aren't they uniform across the EU? Also, if a UK citizen goes to any other EU country, surely they can't be expected to live on any less, in benefits to which they are entitled, than they would have received if still living in the UK.
