More than a quarter of the population of Moldova have left the country. However they are now in Italy, Spain, and Portugal where there are fewer language problems for Romanian speakers than elsewhere.<BR/><BR/>The pathetic measures announced by reid will not and would not stop Romanian citizens who want to come here from doing so- all they have to do is set a company and become self employed.<BR/><BR/>However, I think that the influx from A2 countries will be a good deal smaller than A10- firstly because the transport links are weaker (there are now dozens of direct flights a day between the UK and Poland for example) and secondly because a large number of those who plan to go overseas to seek work have already done so.<BR/><BR/>Meanwhile the economic position of Romania under its new Liberal government has improved sharply.Cicerohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02090838836212624633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-1161894249921852172006-10-26T21:24:00.000+01:002006-10-26T21:24:00.000+01:00As much as I support open movement of people from ...As much as I support open movement of people from Romania and Bulgaria (my girlfriend is Bulgarian after all), I worry about the Romania case specifically. The "fourth victim" of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact could be rendered moot if a huge number of Moldova's citizenry (sans Transnistrians) opt to take up Romanian citizenship. Moldova will cease to exist, we will repair the damage of the MRP, give Russia a second exclave down south, and bring half a million "Romanians" to Britain. It just sounds chaotic...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15037609.post-1161878922192231732006-10-26T17:08:00.000+01:002006-10-26T17:08:00.000+01:00I think they're still happy to have highly educate...I think they're still happy to have highly educated Americans come here (though why wouldn't they just stay there and earn more), but they want the cheap workers to come from the EU rather than, say, Bangladesh.
