Immigration Statistics: European Economic Area (EEA)

This release replaces the previous annual and quarterly publications Control of Immigration Statistics and the annual British Citizenship, following a public consultation. Each topic now has its own entry, links to these related reports can be found under the "additional links" section. The European Economic Area (EEA) consists of countries within the EU, together with Norway, Iceland and Liechtenstein. Nationals of the EEA and Switzerland have rights of free movement within the United Kingdom. This means that there is less information on numbers coming to the United Kingdom than for nationals of other countries. This topic brief brings together the information that is known about these nationals.本次发布在开展公众咨询后，替代了此前的《移民管制统计》年度与季度出版物，以及《英国公民身份》年度报告。如今每个主题均设有独立条目，相关报告的链接可在「附加链接」板块中获取。欧洲经济区（European Economic Area, EEA）由欧盟成员国、挪威、冰岛及列支敦士登共同组成。欧洲经济区与瑞士的国民享有在英国境内自由迁徙的权利，这使得相较于其他国家国民，针对该群体赴英人数的统计信息相对有限。本主题简报整合了目前已掌握的该类国民的相关信息。
