EUOBSERVER / STRASBOURG – As the UK and Ireland consider whether to introduce labour restrictions on the next EU newcomers, a report on the movement of workers across the bloc suggests that Bulgarians and Romanians would prefer Italy, Spain and Greece as their work destinations.
According to a report presented on Tuesday (5 September) by the European Citizen Action Service, Romanian economic migrants tend to travel primarily to Italy (29%), Spain (22%), Germany (13%) and Hungary (6%).
On the other hand, Bulgarians have formed the largest immigrant communities in Greece (200,000), Italy (60,000) and Spain (80,000).
