How welcoming Romania and Bulgaria inside EU on january 2007 ?

I have been livinging Romania for 6 months untils last saturday.

I was there when we knew Romania would join the EU on 1st January 2007.

And according to what I saw (collegues and friends), They didn't celebrate it. And they are perhaps more afraid than GB about this new arriving...

Romania is entring the EU knowing that many countries don't want them. Every day at the news, we can hear about the Bristish who are so afraid about the imigrants coming from Romania. Yesterday, the fact of 15 million has been said. 15 million would be the population of Romania in 2015. Because of two reasons: lake a baby, and, emigration.

But I'm not personnaly sure that arriving in EU will make every body coming in GB or other countries. It will happen, but from what I can see, is that since few years theren the salaries are getting higher and higher. or that would be the main reasons why people would leave their country.
So I guess, the working conditions would't be in few years a reason of imigration.

But this is gonna make the inflation going higher as well...And dig the inegality....Already now there are huge differences between poor and rich. And it's not gonna be stopped with the EU.

In the argriculture :
In romania the majority of the agricultors own small land. What will they become? like in France, only the bigger will survive?
People are afraid in the small village because the EU want them to leave their 3 or 4 chickens....


There is definitely good things and less good for romania, as for the EU. People there       are happy to be acceptedin the EU, but we all know that Romania has still a lot to do  to reach the Eu standards.
