immigration

Romanians willing to find a job abroad are obliged to entrust their children, who remain in the country, to a family member, or they will be fined 2,500 lei (EUR1=RON4.2175) up to RON10,000, according to a legislative initiative tacitly adopted by the Romanian Senate.

Over 600 Romanians took part in the information campaign and job fair organized by the Romanian Labor Ministry in Alcala de Henares, Spain, the ministry said.

Italy needs to prove the urgency and seriousness of threats posed by immigrants to motivate individual expulsions, European Commissioner for Multilingualism Leonard Orban said, cited by Italian daily Corriere della Sera.
