There's definately a lot of media sterotyping, with conjured up images of Romanian gypsy caravans heading West, and worries of floods of unskilled labour pouring into the eurozone.

But some of it I think comes from genuine concern, looking at the sharp rise over the last few years of East European lower skilled workers in some areas, with added pressure on local services. Even our local Tescos and Morrisons has a Polish Isle, and we've got a few East European Neighbours, who seem to operate submarine shifts, going by the number of cars/adults versus bedrooms

A Polish Isle?! So no indigenous Brits allowed?

The recent 'The Romanian's are coming?' documentary on BBC 1's 'Panorama' helped clear some of the misconceptions that exist about that country.

Amongst other things, it highlighted the fact that thanks to the outstanding performance of its IT industry, Romania has consolidated its position as an outsourcing hub in Central Eastern Europe.

Romania is home to an abundance of professionally very well prepared and highly skilled labor pool that has a better understanding of Western European culture than their Asian counterparts.

Looks like India now has some healthy competition...
