End the restrictions on Romanian workers in the UK
Result:
This petition is now closed.
We, the undersigned, as members of the Romanian community in the UK or their supporters, petition the British Government to end its current discriminatory system of restrictions against Romanian workers.
We note that the system of constraints makes Romanian workers targets for exploitation by unscrupulous employers and educational establishments. We further note the considerable cost to the British tax payer of administering these temporary restrictions.
In light of the very low number of Romanians who have come to the UK since 1 January 2007, as well as the reversing flow of workers from other member states, we urge the British Government and personally the Prime Minister Gordon Brown to abolish the unnecessary discrimination of its work permit regime, and allow Romanians the same chance to contribute fully to the UK economy as are afforded to other EU nationals.
