Summary/Abstract: The immigration policy of the Spanish government in the last years was based on controlling the illegal immigration and the attempts to rate the migratory flow. The alarming increase of the unemployment level in Spain in the last year and the decrease with 3,9% of the level of the gross domestic income in just two years determined the Spanish state to invoke ”safeguard clause” in the area of free movement of workers. Thus the European Commission approved on August 11th 2011 the restriction of the Romanian workers access until December 31st 2012.
