BRUSSELS--U.K. Prime Minister David Cameron said Thursday Britain isn't "immune" to economic strains in Europe and he hoped to hear other leaders' plans to get their economies growing again.

Arriving in Brussels for a meeting of EU leaders, Mr. Cameron said Britain's economy is "growing well," with jobs being created and new businesses opening.

"We aren't immune to economic problems elsewhere in Europe and there are some worries and concerns about the state of other European economies so I'll be wanting to hear about plans others have to make it easier to employ people, to reform, to make sure that the European economies grow, " he said.

EU leaders will discuss the region's budget rules at the Brussels summit as the European Commission tries to ensure that Italy, France and others abide by the bloc's fiscal rules.

Those rules don't apply fully to the U.K.

Mr. Cameron also said the U.K. has taken a lead on combating the Ebola crisis in western Africa.

He said "we need other European countries to do more."

The U.K. is calling for a EUR1 billion ($1.26 billion) EU fund to be created to help combat the crisis by allowing facilities to be constructed in the affected region to treat people.
