According to a NBP(Polish Central Bank) polish emigrants have transfered to Poland about 4,07 bln Euro in a year(2013). Its is obviously a lot of money. There is one more thing which should be taken into consideration - in the first QUARTER 2014 companies from EEA have transfered out 12,782 bln Euro and in a whole 2013 - 41,772 bln Euro. So there is a question who is bigger beneficiary in this case.

Yet despite having to pay towards the EU budget and having to adopt EU law, EFTA countries have no vote in the policies, vision, direction, rules and laws of the EU. Is that really want we want for the UK?

Personally, I think we fare far better, working with others than against of away from them, this simply stands to reason. <br />Also "Worried Citizen", they are home, they're Europeans, like you and I. <br />The stark choice is pretty much, the EU or replaying the worse aspects of the 20th Century in Europe. <br />It's by no means perfect, Germany for instance has no minimum wage, as we understand it in the UK, where sadly it is not a living wage, this alone is an issue worth tackling with German, as a member of the EU as the benefits to simply our two nations are potentially immense. <br />Reforms and Debate based on evidence and decency are always better than wars, conflicts and separatism. We have one planet to deal with, and European lifestyles are going to have to be scaled back in the near-future (50 years) and arguing about working together or not isn't exactly reducing the amount of hot air. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411079690225439692.post-7421055641521182682013-02-17T13:12:33.189+00:002013-02-17T13:12:33.189+00:00So, ‘Worried Citizen’, what do you propose should ...So, ‘Worried Citizen’, what do you propose should happen to the many hundreds of thousands of British people who are working, living, studying or retired in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Poland, Slovakia, Denmark and all the other countries of the European Union? British people are able to freely work, live, study and retire in all the European Union countries as a result of the exact same EU rules that allow other European nationals to come and work, live, study and retire in the UK. It works both ways. <br /><br />Do you want to see those British people in other EU countries lose their jobs, residences, education and retirement homes, in the same way that you want to see French, German, Polish, Slovak, Czech, and other EU nationals living in the UK sent back home? We surely need to think carefully before dismantling the EU community.<br />Jon Danzighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13843735276520325007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411079690225439692.post-15498611627936728972013-02-17T12:19:36.769+00:002013-02-17T12:19:36.769+00:00These EU workers are taking our jobs, taking housi...These EU workers are taking our jobs, taking housing that we need. Putting a strain on our services. Even schools are being expanded to take more EU children. But the most important thing is, we the British public have had enough. It's time to leave the EU and tell all these Europeans in this country it's time for all of you to go home.worried citizenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12839532040617966261noreply@blogger.com
