The eight countries include 70 % of the EU 27 population in 2013, but 85 % of those born in a country other than the country of residence. The population of persons born abroad includes persons born abroad with the nationality of the country of residence. This therefore overestimates the share of “immigrants, within the meaning of the High Council for Integration”. In particular, countries with colonies thus have a significant share of people born in a foreign country but with the nationality of the country of residence.
