It is not difficult to see why UK companies look to Eastern Europe to invest - easy access to the established EU markets and low- cost labour are a seemingly irresistible combination, especially for manufacturing firms. However, language barriers, post-Communist rivalries and poor infrastructure are just some of the hurdles to be overcome before anyone can think about profits.
ROMA migrants from Eastern Europe are living up to 13 at a time in tiny terraced houses in Normanton, council investigators have found. Officials discovered families living in rubbish-strewn homes with smashed windows and doors, rooms full of beds and with little food. People living nearby say they have seen some take charity bags full of clothes and dump what they do not want outside their home.

TRAINSPOTTERS in Eastern Europe, I can now say with some certainty, look just the same as the ones back home. Overnight we had rattled and creaked into Poland from the Czech Republic in our beautiful old Art Deco Wagon-Lit carriages, passing through dark forests that seemed to go on for ever. We had started our unusual Orient-Express journey in busy, touristy Venice, but there we were the next morning, a long way from the canals and gondolas, blinking at the contrast as we rolled slowly past Zywiec.

Immigration from Eastern Europe was under-estimated by the former Labour government and hit people's wage packets, Ed Miliband acknowledged yesterday. The Labour leader said economic migration had been allowed to widen the gap between the rich and the poor.

HUNGARY'S Jobbik party, the shrillest among Central and Eastern Europe's far right parties, has been exposed as having received secret financial support from Russia as a quid pro quo for its anti- European Union and anti-Nato bluster. The issue of "rolling Russian gold roubles", and alleged "Iranian cash gifts" helping sustain a virulently anti-Roma and anti-semitic party that flaunts its hostility to Western liberal democracy is troubling Hungarian public opinion. The proto-fascist party's xenophobia and strong-arm actions against what it calls "the criminal Roma" have secured it a measure of popularity - and, because of its anti-Western stance, Russian interest is not surprising.
