Benefit tourism is a political term coined in 2003 for the perceived threat that a huge number of citizens from eight of the ten new nations given membership in the European Union in the 2004 enlargement of the European Union would move to the existing member states to benefit from their social welfare systems rather than to work. This threat was in several countries used as a reason for creating temporary work or benefit restrictions for citizens from the eight new member states. ref http www.guardian.co.uk society 2004 jan 21 raceintheuk.europeanunion?INTCMP SRCH The Guardian 21 January 2004 Leader False figures Retrieved 2011 09 30 ref ref http www.guardian.co.uk world 2004 feb 04 eu.politics The Guardian 4 February 2004 UK set to act against benefit tourism Retrieved 2011 09 30 ref However, research and evidence since May 2004 does not suggest that a large number of people from Eastern Europe are claiming benefits in Western Europe.
