Romania's Prime Minister has called on Britain not to treat Romanians as "second-rate citizens" when work restrictions for Romanian and Bulgarian workers are lifted in January.
It follows Prime Minister David Cameron's pledge to toughen welfare rules for migrants from the European Union, amid concern in the UK that people from Romania and Bulgaria will exploit the British welfare system.
Mr Cameron has said one million people from Central and Eastern Europe are living in Britain, with migration at a level not seen since wartime.
Some fear a rise of Romanian camps, like the 400 estimated sites in FranceRomanian leader Victor Ponta said people should be punished for abusing Britain's welfare system, but restrictions should not be used to "generate or justify abuse or discrimination toward European citizens".
"We will not accept being treated as second-rate citizens," Mr Ponta said.
He added that research showed "there is no reason for concern regarding a migrant wave" from Romania to Britain.
Millions of Romanians had already chosen to work abroad in "southern Latin states", referring to Spain and Italy, which have a Latin-based language like Romanian.

Mr Cameron's comments were criticised on Wednesday by European employment commissioner Laszlo Andor as an "unfortunate over-reaction".
