Before the EU s eastern enlargement, many studies predicted the likely migration waves.

Since the enlargement of the EU large numbers of migrant workers have arrived in the Netherlands from central and eastern Europe.

The most recent stage of EU enlargement last May added millions of Roma from the new member states of Central and Eastern Europe.

The enlargement of NATO and the EU has embraced a dozen or so states in Central and Eastern Europe and in the western Balkans.

The conclusion of the Uruguay Round, the formation and or enlargement of trading blocs and developments in Eastern and Central Europe pose additional challenges.

But despite restrictions, by 2005 Germany had absorbed 37 of all migrants from Eastern Europe that came before and after eastern EU enlargement, whereas Italy had absorbed 22 , Greece 11 , Switzerland 8 , and the UK only 3 .

When I started teaching International Relations in Natolin in 2002, all the college s students were infused with the hopes stemming from the EU s enlargement to Eastern Europe.

Known as the Barcelona process, this initiative proved weak and ineffective, because much of its funding was diverted to Eastern Europe for the EU s ambitious enlargement drive.

To be sure, eastern enlargement is leading to an increase in West European exports, because more markets have been opened in which western firms can sell their products.

It can reinvigorate the spirit of earlier enlargement rounds, or it can succumb to enlargement fatigue.

The modalities of the enlargement should also be elaborated.

Before enlargement, it was politically incorrect to discuss possible waves of migration to the West, as EU politicians saw this as an obstacle to the enlargement process. Now that enlargement has taken place, it is easier to discuss migration objectively.

Enlargement in the non permanent category, which should include one additional seat for the Eastern European regional Group whose membership has doubled over the past 15 years should ensure an appropriate regional balance in the Council.

Because Germany still restricts the immigration of dependent workers from eastern EU countries, most of its immigrants come as self employed or economically inactive people. In Munich, the number of self employed tilers increased in 2004 and 2005, the first two years after the first eastern enlargement wave, from 119 to 970.
