By Tamara Cohen PUBLISHED: 17:24 EST, 30 April 2013 | UPDATED: 01:50 EST, 1 May 2013 The influx of migrants from Bulgaria and Romania will be ‘nothing like’ the levels seen when Poland joined the European Union, the Prime Minister said yesterday. Campaigning in Somerset ahead of tomorrow’s local elections, Mr Cameron said the huge numbers coming from Poland since it joined the EU in 2004 – put at 1.1million – was due to Britain putting no controls on immigration while other countries did. He said: ‘When a country joins the European Union you can put in place transitional controls. You can say to that country, ‘You can’t all come here for the first seven years’.
