Who's Afraid of the EU's Latest Enlargement?

The National Association of Citizens Advice Bureaux (NACAB) launches in Romania ECAS’s study “Who’s Afraid of the EU’s Latest Enlargement?” ECAS’s study is simultaneously launched in Bucharest, Sofia and Brussels on January 15, 2008. The study is first to present a comprehensive picture of the impact of Bulgaria and Romania joining the European Union on free movement of people – one year on. The 45 page document by Julianna Traser based on 2007 data examines the EU’s fifth enlargement from the perspective of all 27 member states. The study demonstrates, like the previous ones by ECAS, that even with enlargement, free movement within the Union remains at a low level. It concerns less than 2% of the population but is unevenly spread. Click here to see the study.
