In addition, there were 13.7 million people living in one of the EU Member States with the citizenship of another EU Member State.
**Highest shares of non-nationals in Luxembourg, lowest in Romania**
In relative terms, the EU Member State with the highest share of non-national citizens was Luxembourg (47% of its total population).
A high proportion of non-nationals (10% or more of the resident population) was also observed in Malta, Cyprus, Austria, Estonia, Latvia, Ireland, Germany, Belgium and Spain.
In contrast, non-nationals represented less than 1% of the population in Romania.
In most EU Member States, the majority of non-nationals were citizens of non-EU countries. Only in Luxembourg, Cyprus, Austria, Belgium, Ireland, the Netherlands and Slovakia were non-nationals mainly citizens of another EU Member State.
Romanian, Polish, Italian and Portuguese citizens were the four main groups of EU citizens living in other EU Member States on 1 January 2021.
Non-nationals is a strange metric since millions of Europeans choose to live and work in a different EU state than the one issuing their passport.
Also, there are plenty of UK citizens in the non-eu category (eg in Ireland, Germany, Netherlands), many of whom have been living in EU for decades.
It’s spelled Germanistan 😂
Does this affect life for people in America? No? Why did you post it?
