In the context of the fears expressed by UK politicians regarding the liberalization of the labour market for Romanians from 1 January 2014, The Foundation For The Defense Of Citizens Against State Abuses draws attention to a study quoted by the British daily The Independent.
The study on the impact of Romanian and Bulgarian emigration to the UK, commissioned by British officials, has not been made public due to the positive nature of the results. According to journalists from The Times, quoted by The Independent, Theresa May, the Home Secretary, was unhappy with the study's findings and decided to postpone its publication until 2014.
The final part of the analysis, detailing freedom of movement within the European Union, was due to be published on 9 December, but has been postponed until next year.
According to the source, Theresa May was concerned that the study underestimated the problem of citizens emigrating to the UK to take advantage of the social security system, an issue that has been intensely debated by the British government.
In the context of discussions announced between David Cameron and European officials, the British Prime Minister was to use the results of the analysis to renegotiate Britain's position within the European Union.
Liberal Democrat MEP Julian Huppert said there was compelling evidence that Britain had benefited from the current EU rules, and hoped the report would confirm this, the article said (http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/government-delays-eu-immigration-report-because-it-is-too-positive-8994264.html).
