We all know thats the only reason Poland finally joined in.
not 100% true.
what is happening is your industry is buying up property here to erect factories as fast as they possibly can. Of course the workers from the new countries are not allowed to come to the old EU to get jobs, but it seems the politicians don't want them to move.

Personally I think it was the worse decision they could make, what do the new countries bring to the EU other than cheap labour, cheap property prices and less restrictions?

I suppose the burocrats in Brussels think the extra profits made with this new cheap labour, will pay for the unemployment benefits in the old Europe. However you can always go work for them, they are going to be spending 1 billion Euros on translating all the docu-ments, this does not cover the new docu-ments, offices and staff needed for the expansion.

So I suppose in ten years we will supporting you.
