EU Migration, more for jobs, less for benefits

Jobs not ‘benefit tourism’ the reason migrants move around EU, says report - European News | Latest News from Across Europe | The Irish Times - Fri, Oct 11, 2013: "There is no evidence EU citizens who move to another member state are “more intensive users” of social welfare than nationals of that member state, a study commissioned by the European Commission has found.
The report, which will be published in the coming days and has been seen by The Irish Times, is likely to reignite the debate about so-called “benefit tourism” – people moving to another country to receive social benefits rather than to work.
The UK has raised concerns about migrants’ access to benefits, with David Cameron pledging to put the issue at the heart of his planned “renegotiation” of the relationship with the EU. "
