Others have come as asylum seekers, seeking protection as refugees under the United Nations 1951 Refugee Convention, or from European Union (EU) member states, exercising one of the EU's Four Freedoms. In the 2001 census, the majority of new immigrants to Great Britain came from Asia (40%) and Africa (32%). The largest three groups came from Pakistan, India, and Somalia. In 2004, Poland entered the European Union. It is estimated that by 2007, 375,000 Poles had registered to work in Britain.
