EU Warns Switzerland Over Immigration Restrictions

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH: The EU has warned Switzerland that its decision to impose new restrictions immigrants from Eastern and Central European countries is in "breach" of a free movement treaty.

Switzerland, which is not an EU country, has a special agreement that allows Swiss people to benefit from Europe's open borders travel zone.

In return, the Swiss are supposed not to discriminate against immigrants from any EU country, with the exception of time-limited restrictions on Bulgarians and Romanians. » | Bruno Waterfield, Brussels | Thursday, April 19, 2012

The Polish Baby Boom: Fears for NHS and Schools as 1,000 Polish Children are Born EVERY Month

DAILY MAIL: Hospitals and schools are struggling to cope with a huge influx of Eastern European children, new figures show.

The number of Polish babies born in UK hospitals has almost quadrupled since the 2004 EU expansion.

On current trends, there will be more than 13,000 such births this year, costing the NHS more than £20million.

In addition, more than 240,000 Eastern European children have arrived in Britain's schools - with head teachers warning that some are now close to breaking point. >> By James Slack
