"As the political and economic situation within Europe rapidly changes, we also have
a changing picture in the UK. In 2003 an assessment of all available studies into
employment laws concluded that migration of workers into the UK might be between
5,000 and 13,000 annually. Current data shows that there were 176,000 applicants
to the Worker Registration Scheme between 1 May 2004 and 31 March 2005. This
includes the registration of workers from the new EU countries. If properly managed, migration of workers can be beneficial for all states and societies. If left unmanaged, it can lead to the exploitation of individual migrants, andbe a source of social tension and insecurity in society. The time has come to raise important cross-cutting issues such as the protection of human and individual rights and dignity, as well as increase regional and international cooperation."
