Germany not UK main destination for EU migrants
GERMANY - not the UK - is the main destination of free movement within the European Union, an international economic organisation has said.
Nearly 30% of migrants moving under free movement rules within the EU in 2012 travelled to Germany, compared to 7% of EU free-mobility migrants that moved to the UK, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) said.
In its International Migration Outlook 2014, the OECD said recent national estimates suggest an increase in free movement migration to the UK this year - but Germany continues to be the main destination of free movement within the 28-country bloc.
