If that were the case gross immigration would drop dramatically. Not entirely sure I've seen that trend in the stats.

Yep that Sunday Times article is as unequivocal as the headline suggested.

ANGELA MERKEL has delivered a potentially fatal blow to David Cameron’s attempt to cap immigration from the European Union.

The German chancellor told The Sunday Times that she would not support Cameron’s plans to limit freedom of movement within the EU as part of his planned renegotiation of Britain’s relationship with Brussels.

The prime minister has pledged to make changes to freedom of movement a “red line” in a new deal and is preparing to pledge to bring in quotas for low-skilled EU migrants.

But questioned by this newspaper during an EU summit in Brussels, Merkel categorically denied that there was any possibility of Germany supporting any limitations on the freedom of movement — a potentially terminal intervention from Britain’s key ally.

“Germany will not tamper with the fundamental principles of free movement in the EU,” she said.

Her words were echoed by Laszlo Andor, the outgoing commissioner in charge of labour and social affairs, who said in an interview with The Sunday Times that Cameron’s plans were illegal and would not get support from any other EU country.
I really do get a new appreciation of the influence we have within the EU with every passing day.
