[full-text, 31 pages]
[excerpt]
The second report summarises Member States' replies to a questionnaire on workers remittances from the EU to third countries sent in May 2005. Compared to the first survey, the second one extended the scope by requesting a geographical breakdown of flows channelled to Eastern Europe, the Mediterranean, Latin America and the Caribbean.
It shows that remittances from the EU to third countries increased from 6.2 billion in 2000 to almost 9 billion in 2004. This was mainly driven by flows to developing countries which increased from 4.3 billion in 2000 to 6.6 billion in 2004. A few major corridors were identified, notably from Germany and France to the Mediterranean region, from Spain to Latin America and from Germany to Eastern Europe. However, these results might not entirely reflect actual remittance flows due to problems of under-reporting and mis-reporting.
