French term or phrase: Le départ des Européens de l'Est
Première cause de ce revirement spectaculaire, le départ des immigrés arrivés sur l'île ces dernières années attirés par le rugissement du "Tigre" et sa politique migratoire très accueillante.

Je vous remercie infiniment.

English translation:Exodus of Eastern Europeans
Explanation:
My triple-E suggestion.
Oh dear, does that give me an EEE credit rating...?!

Example:

BBC News | EUROPEAN | EU enlargement: Will East go West?

"Early membership will result in a very significant exodus of Eastern Europeans for which we are not culturally ready yet."

neutral  Colin Rowe: I am also assuming Ireland, but the text does not say that they have returned home - merely left. They may well now be in Britain. // Good point. But is it really the economy, or have they just gone home to watch the football? ;-)

  -> Following the media over the last few years, I got the impression that Eastern Europeans have returned to their home countries in droves - from Ireland AND the UK. One reason: the Polish economy is booming - the British isn't.

I was more thinking of opting out of a waning economy in order to return to the boom in their own - the idea is a little tongue in cheek...

Asker: i agree with but opt out here is ambiguous it gives also a sense of "décider de ne pas participer à ..." what do you think?
