The PM will say that if the UK voted to the leave the EU, it may face a difficult and costly exercise to try and gain access to the European market, noting that non-EU members like Norway and Iceland pay huge fees to gain access to the single market and still have to abide by EU employment, health and safety, transport and environmental rules.
"Norway has to pay hundreds of millions of euros in membership fee to access the single market," Cameron will say, while warning that leaving the EU would mean that billions of dollars worth of other trade deals would need to be renegotiated with member states.
In a message directly aimed at many Euroskeptics, Cameron will also say that leaving the bloc may not necessarily lead to a cut in immigration, as the UK relies on support and cooperation from other partners within the bloc.
Concerns Over Rise of Euroskeptics
The intervention marks a dramatic shift in rhetoric from Cameron, who has previously said that although his preferred option is to remain in a reformed EU, he won`t rule out campaigning for Brexit, if reforms negotiations are unsuccessful.
