Britain remained the greatest magnet for EU migrants – even after other countries opened their doors to workers from Eastern Europe, according to latest official figures yesterday.
The UK continued to draw in more than any other country in 2011, when citizens of Poland and fellow eastern nations finally won the right to work in Germany and other wealthy EU nations.
The UK accepted 566,044 immigrants, compared to 489,422 who went to Germany, according to Eurostat.
The EU statistics arm added that the number coming to this country was twice that who went to France – estimated at just 267,400.
The figures cover the first full year of the Coalition, which pledged to reduce net migration to 1990s levels.
The top ten EU countries based on the number of EU migrants that they accepted in 2011. The UK came top, beating France, Germany and Spain, which has also had immigrants leaving its country due to economic problems.
Net migration is the rise or fall in population after both immigration and emigration have been counted.
The promise would mean halving the latest published rates of net migration for the year to June 2013, which show an 182,000 increase.
Immigration into Britain hit record highs after 2004, when Poland and seven other Eastern European countries joined the EU.
They were given immediate freedom to work in Britain without restrictions by Tony Blair’s government.
Only Ireland and Sweden did the same, with the result that more than a million Eastern Europeans came to work in this country while few took jobs in other major EU economies.
