Made with the signing of the treaty of rome that would lead the way to the creation of the European Union as we know it today alongside thats another dream came true the dream of freedom of movement for all of europes citizens so we joined one young man for a very shrewd bats to see how that freedom of Movement Works today. This summer Friedrich Schubert is exploring europe from west to east by train. Hes already covered over 2500 kilometers. From the congress from paris france i travel to italy so this is my 3rd country but. His next stop is below nya a University City in central italy. Be us given no 27000 free 4 weeks into rail train tickets to european youngsters. It wants them to explore the consonants and hopes this will help counter nationalist tendencies in some e. U. States. The success of the silicon stereotype is that people here are more relaxed more open with one another and more welcoming to strangers we have an i phone for no for most of the summer thats something we germans often struggle with which is the. Friedrich spontaneously meets organizers the long is cheap street art festival this summer the putting up 600 posters by artists across the city walls the messages are surprisingly pro european. I think europe and. You know something that theyre still together and keep us together how long weve been killing each other for what century is and now we have a you know we have common programs we have a common politics 25 year old friedrich continues his european journey in an easterly direction. To trist from 6 to 6. Is on route to slovenia one of the eves newest Member States it was once part of the communist you can slavia. As a train heads for the italian slovenian border he makes friends with a reason man ferrari who comes from the region. Of my family he tells me stories about when. It was the. There were differences in the. Very street yes. Today people in europe can again travel freely. If youve been to slovenia yet but. After 3 hours the train reaches the mediterranean city and soon arrives at the slovenian border. Theres no border guard in sight just a train conductor. For over 11 years this is being an open border. Its really interesting when people talk about the past its incredible freedom to just cross into another country without checks but i cannot fully appreciated because i didnt experience what it was like before. Travelling freely across borders has become a normality for young people like friedrich it is one of the major achievements of the e. U. Friedrich has reached the slovenian capital leon. But does it make. It so hard for frieda to imagine a return to nationalist tendencies. After a stopover in slovenia he boarded the night train today who carry in capital budapest. It was in hungary that the iron curtain 1st became possible today hungarys government takes an e. Q. Skeptical stance but few yoga share these opinions smug as such because i didnt meet anyone who said something very negative about your cause maybe because most people tend to identify with their nation not some not europe. Really gets the occasional. Says it all so maybe we must make clear out why the european idea is so important its because its the longest. This trip to strengthen friedrich slovak. And he hopes its borders will remain open as european into railtrack. It has made a lasting impression. Well the europe that the young Friedrich Schubert moves around in so freely today began to take shape here in this magnificent hall at the capitol and museum in rome on the 25th of march 1957 france germany italy and the benelux states signed the treaty of rome after 2 devastating wars in the whole course europes Founding Fathers were absolutely determined to bring lasting peace to the continent well one of the translators in the negotiations leading to this historic moment was a remarkable one called really hard work out. A visit to the last living person to have witnessed the founding of europe 90 year old or anyhow for camp lives in brussels. As a 27 year old interpreter renny witnessed the treaty of rome being negotiated she accompanied belgian paul on response regarded as one of the founders of european unification. She mostly sat next to spark who was head of the belgian government in exile during the 2nd world war. Later as a european he reached out to the germans. Miraculously he did so just 10 years after the war ended. A 3rd of their cases so youre meant to be. I really believe that someone like add now are definitely wanted Something Else and this could only be europe the bill never benelux countries had an ideal too and if there ever again which was repeatedly stated. They need is a holocaust survivor she and her jewish family had to flee from the nazis and leave cologne in belgium they went into hiding to eat did he the idea of ever going to germany again as a tourist or later accompanying spark for my work was hard to grasp. But her desire for peace in europe a stronger you have to live because i believed in it when i was younger that was a time of enthusiasm for europe absolutely plenty is the last surviving pioneer of the founding of europe today her dream of a europe without borders has become a reality. And part of that reality this is in the ancient romans might have been proud of themselves as the creation of a european Single Market with a total workforce of more than 200000000. 00 men and women so for many europe does stand for prosperity but not for all such as a rainy and day laborers who gather here in rome for work on a daily basis. Its 5 30 in the morning in buffalo on the outskirts of rome this is where day laborers wait for someone to offer them work most of them are from romania. A van pulls over. One of the men climbs in discreetly of course the police could show up at any minute. The others stay behind and keep on waiting most of the time its in vain italys construction sector is in crisis we ask some of the men how much money they can earn here. Heavy labor can get to 60 to 70 years a day. He says some of the people that picked them up are italian and some are remaining in picher come under no you had no luck finding work this morning. Is unlucky streak has lasted for more than a week now. The dull and agro not a lot i moonlighted our employers prefer that so that they can avoid paying taxes and insurance stocks they would rather take you as an undeclared worker. Let me agree that if they did none it would sometimes i dont get paid to tow or furniture they say theyll pay to morrow and then they never show up again in a good gamble money oh well like. A 63 year old welder has been trying his luck for years here but with less and less success. He says a while ago his wife and his 2 children left him. Since then hes been living at the edge of the city in this makeshift hut good decent ive got my kids with their grandparents what theyre waiting for their dad to come back but im not coming back. Every evening picture co goes to bed early hell have to wake up at 430 if he wants any chance of getting work tomorrow. God what a curse it life this is. But petrushka is not alone in his plight yulian montoya from italys Construction Union knows of many others just like him originally from romania he says many of his countrymen come to italy hoping for fast cash so part of what they came because they were promised the land of milk and honey here but they found something entirely different. Pay to go was also looking for a better life when he set out from romania to italy many years ago. This is where he used to live in the village of s. Now now his house is abandoned his family has moved away many other houses stand empty here the local bar is the only place left with a bit of life in it here they remember their previous neighbor oh ok tell me its out of money you said there was no point staying here in a country. That was earning his daily bread and Everything Else he needs to come back being if i could go a lot of i think its better to stay here on a romanian feels. At least here you can get some sheeps cheese even from mania is per. The set up there was one. Back in rome like every morning is up early driven by the hope of earning a few heroes today. For im sure rome is beautiful again for is not for me brought it out. I live not tourist way slaves can do much of that. But. There are few people looking for cheap labor in buffalo today Summer Vacation has started. A bad outlook for people like patrick are under no you the romanian welder. Now one thing all you citizens have in common is a passport just like this one and just in the same way that wealth consumers can afford to buy all the latest fashions here in chic central rome wealthy investors can actually afford to buy e. U. Citizenship in the form of socalled golden passports and the place to do that is something perverse. Cyprus is booming and the 2013 financial crisis seems all but forgotten. The islands Real Estate Market is thriving with rows of expensive high rise condos going up in the port city of limits saw. Many russians are buying them today they make up a better 4th of the citys total population. And a growing number of them have a cypriot e. U. Passport. Business consultant irene is settled and is one of those who makes it happen all the need to do is invest 2000000 euros in a look 3 property. You have historical just. To know. Clearly a situation and to get some a sounds. Its very simple thought quiet the passport dont have to live here permanently youll. Possibility to travel with no. 154 countries for all. The facts cyprus issues gold and passports to wealthy russians and arabs has been severely criticized by the e. U. But the islands finance minister who oversees this Investment Scheme says so far only 500 people have acquired one. And these ones may be main fact be those which offer after. Details in depth scrutiny and the background checks any suggestions or even take the course to. Jointly. Establish it all its gotten not done the best and. The reasons hold on so we would be absolutely willing to engage in such a discussion there is also been growing criticism of the Golden Passport Program within cyprus critics say it lacks transparency and that the program just makes real estate tycoons like janish mr lewis even richer the president s son in law is currently building a plant. With the upper level apartments selling for more than 2000000000 euros is not worried by the fact that this entitles them to a golden passport after all they invest considerable sums. A big number is the middle east france middle east in g. C. C. Countries. Asia and the russians so that is 5 or 6 percent dependent on this program. I guess if you take away any niche market from any market its going to have some negative impact. Well the influx of rich russians has changed life in the midst of not want to speak to us on camera but their new passports although Business Consultant says most are mainly interested in making a profit. He calls his a terrible 5 percent of the e. U. And in 5 years. So a loop holes investment in size also the benefit of the suppose its. An attractive deal and one that cypriot Investment Consultants a keen to promote after all where else can you acquire an e. U. Passport in just 3 months. Weve come to romes not montanaro market its a great place to buy fresh fruit including some lovely berries up there and you may or may not know that scotland is the place where berries are big business but the question now is what happens with brags because if the u. K. Does choose to leave the European Union as seems likely that means were going to be slamming the door on the freedom of movement for those migrant laborers who are so vital to scottish from a. Picture perfect scotland. The highlands famous for their breathtaking landscapes the castles and lakes add some bagpipes and a kilt and this is the way tourists experience this part of britain. Like. The workers on the Strawberry Farms however dont get to see this side of scotland almost all of them came here from Eastern Europe. They earn around 300. 00 euros per week here that equals a months wage in romania and bulgaria but if youve done well the way forced. Budget would you dimitri on has been spending the summer months in scotland for 7 years now as an e. U. Citizen you never had problems entering the country but bracks it could mean the end of freedom of movement will be hard i think my thats right theyve told me about their. On the airport where im going why. How many hours that was how i am if i paid rain fear of it up if it is there and 4 or 5 years ago that i never had. During the summer some 10000 workers from other in new countries are employed in the Scottish Agricultural sector. Rex it also has a worrying effect on scottish farmers you know that a lot of the politicians in london neglect and abandon us says angus porter who runs the farm lawyers 140 Seasonal Workers not one of them is british he struggles to find enough local workers in rural scotland the future worries him we build up an industry entirely based on people coming from me and without them. Well it would be very very difficult i mean i dont. I dont know how we would even begin to do our work. The nearby town of arbroath has seen better days hardly anyone here can make a living from fishing anymore. Many shops on the high street are vacant they like customers with money to spend. Its somewhat busier at the barber shop though employees as well as customers are from Eastern Europe migrants from the e. U. Are needed everywhere they say. No only the father. Did this fish for 30 years for this chicken fight but instead of fear that fish far through this is both really easy job as well and also we all know fish smells its not easy job but also some original politicians have a different view though you are correct that supporters would rather send unemployed scots to work in the fields. To do more jobs when i was a boy. I walked on the farms. What i was cruel you had no holidays. We when i. Got where the fault of people coming across to the gas chamber gushed out by that coming across this is actually made. You know there will people put up lot of the opportunity. Locals however wouldnt want to live in these containers on the farm and be woken at 5 am to start picking says dimitri alongside other Seasonal Workers dimitri earns the minimum wage often for 10 to 12 hours a day when they thought we had some grace yeah that the game they would do it if they said. They left because of no hard job. Dimitri would like to stay in scotland permanently instead of just during the harvest season and hed like to see more of scotland than just the strawberry fields. His dream is to visit the Scottish Highlands someday but rex it could stop that ever happening. Building bridges like the ancient romans used to do is essentially what the European Union is all about take for instance tensions between germany and poland which have been really running into the extreme recently but the 2 sides share a common border along the older river and people there have been coming together and building bridges into the future. Much a schusters roses in her own garden are her pride and joy. 9 years ago she and her family moved from poland to germany they bought their house for little money and spent years renovating and expanding it was based in fact it was all tangly the grass was knee high and we had trouble getting through because everything was covered in the needles so. Called. Such moving to germany was a huge opportunity for martha here she runs her own care service and several vacation homes in addition she could take care of her children and work from home the family could only find a big enough house in germany where to spreading the properties are cheaper in this part of germany than neighboring poland. Off to nothing because i often receive messages from acquaintances or even people i dont know asking if i have any hot tips for a house or a nice piece of property available for sale real estate is becoming scarce and up one in 8 residents of garths a small town in the river odor is from poland and the numbers are rising. And the germans. Are they getting used to the polish neighbors bringing new life to the place. Of these ones as long as they dont harm us and we dont harm them and they make sure to integrate themselves into society and work hard and stay approachable and do their work ive got you know prominent from a topic i felt in the. Fact that i guess its a harmonious coexistence whatsoever put to the test when the local Elementary School introduced polish lessons for german children. Some protested. But the local council and School Management were soon able to win over the critics we have and we have 205 children that go to school here in london both 80 of them are polish players cannot so its clear that they too are vital for this school and wished and ought to have everything. By now 9 german pupils take part in mr pinski as cheerful polish course. But. Many kids in our class are from poland and when they speak polish we want to be able to understand them and when we go to poland we want to be able to say something. The germans often cross into poland. The polish town of graffito is much closer than any big german town. Here shopping might be inexpensive but the real estate prices are quite high. Thats why many poles choose to live in germany and many more say they would be happy to follow i say no pit maybe some day we go there the better for. Martha shuster has never regretted her decision to move to an area that many germans consider the end of the world. And not at all this here is the beginning of the world because its so beautiful here were surrounded by nature and nice people what more could we want. Once you hear their idyllic retreat is noisily destruct at the festival in the german bank of the older liven things up with its rustic humor. Rough and tumble fun. And shermans march music. It doesnt get more traditional than this but martha shuster in a polish friends have no problem at. All of this here in germany so its fine that its typically german. European freedom of movement here in the small town of cortes its become a part of everyday life. Im not so from this special edition of focus on your of coming to you from the eternal city of rome thanks very much indeed for joining us and only remains to say goodbye and i may be to.
