WARSAW—Poland's governing party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski voiced satisfaction Friday with the outcome of talks with Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron, outlining a compromise he said was reached on benefits for European Union nationals in the U.K.

"This was a very good conversation, I'm very satisfied," said Mr. Kaczynski after meeting Mr. Cameron in the Polish capital.

Mr. Kaczynski, who is widely considered the central figure in Polish politics, despite holding no executive post, said the leaders agreed that restrictions on access to the labor market can only be imposed by EU authorities rather than "in an arbitrary unilateral way by a single country." Such restrictions will be limited in time and pertain only to labor issues, not social aid to EU nationals residing in Britain.

"Poland has achieved really a lot, full security for those who are now in Britain but also that those with children in Poland will continue getting benefits," he said.

Mr. Kaczynski also said he was satisfied with the U.K.'s "readiness to cooperate on all matters related to Poland's security." Poland has pushed for a greater presence of North Atlantic Treaty Organization troops on its soil to deter any aggression from Russia.
