"Germany plans to tighten EU migration rules" Associated Press August 28, 2014
BERLIN — The German government proposed measures Wednesday to tighten migration regulations for citizens from elsewhere in the European Union amid accusations of welfare abuse by poor immigrants from Bulgaria and Romania.
Interior Minister Thomas de Maiziere said Chancellor Angela Merkel’s Cabinet was proposing a six-month limit on EU citizens staying in the country without a job.
In addition, he said EU citizens suspected of having abused Germany’s welfare system can be banned from re-entering the country.
‘‘Freedom of movement is an essential part of the European integration, which we fully stand behind,’’ de Maiziere told reporters in Berlin.
‘‘However, that does not mean we should close our eyes to the problems that come with it.’’
He said the new regulations were similar to those adopted by other EU countries.
