Belgium
The number of foreigners in Belgium has been increasing since the year 2002. In 2012, 123 000 persons immigrated to Belgium – about 9 000 persons fewer than in 2011. Among them 89% (110 000) were foreign nationals. Two-thirds of immigrants in 2012 were EU nationals, principally from France (13 300) and Romania (11 200). The decline in migration between 2011 and 2012 was due to lower flows from non-EU countries. The number of emigrants increased in 2012 to 84 100 persons – by 3 500 persons more than in 2011. Among emigrants, 60 000 (71%) were foreign nationals.
