Around 80,000 EU citizens want repatriation to Europe
By EUobserver
The EU Commission says that approximately 80,000 EU citizens are outside the bloc and want to return to Europe, but the number could increase. "The number we are working with now, an aggregated number from member states, is approximately, 80,000 people outside the EU," a commission spokesman said. EU citizens wishing to return to Europe need to contact their national embassies or if there is none, another EU embassy.
