Anne Geerken 11057165 ES3-C 17.06.2014 Supervisor: Dr. P Shotton Second Marker: M Lak Romania and Bulgaria Anne Geerken and the Freedom of Workers in Germany Executive Summary As an essential basic principle of the European Union, the free movement of workers has been on everyone’s lips with the European Enlargement of Romania and Bulgaria in 2007. With the complete abolishment of the restrictions on the free movement of workers for Romanian and Bulgarian citizens in Germany in January 2014, critics feared an increased poverty migration and misuse of the German social welfare system. Amongst critics, especially CSU (Christian Social Union in Bavaria) party members fostered the hysteria and panic mongering by linking the Article 45 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union to the increased migration of Romanian and Bulgarian citizens and referred to “social tourism”. With this term selected as unword of the year in Germany in 2013, the discussion reached its peak in the end of the year. The research question, “to what extend is the fear of poverty migration and the misuse of the German social welfare state by Romanian and Bulgarian citizens due to the removal of restrictions regarding the free movement of workers in Germany legitimate” provided the framework of a detailed gathering of statistical data from a variety of sources and qualitative research and furthermore the basis for an analysis and a critical discussion of the topic under study.

The background of such immigration, along with various Chinese titles to designate Muslims, their communities, and their leaders demonstrate the earliest forms of recognition of the Muslims by the Chinese people. The article focuses on the studies of the Muslim leaders’ duties and their confrontations with the Chinese legal system; to adapt to a new society, a community must undergo acculturation. Finally, the system of Muslim leaders was improved by the succeeding Mongol Yuan dynasty, by which time it became an established tradition that has been passed on by the Hui people until today.
