number of years before he can work in another EU country COMPANIES can bring hundreds of workers in (and they're doing it already; German butchers/workers at meat companies are already out of work). They get paid as little as they do in their homelands, protection of the workers etc. is just as bad as in their homelands - and our professionals are out of jobs. When you have to pay for an apartment in France or Germany you CANNOT work for 3 Euros/hour. This is all very convenient for big business - if only in the short run; in a couple of years nobody here will be able to afford their produce because everybody will be out of work.

Chirac and Schröder are trying to change this. But I have little hope. Europe still is much better than the US. But we're just some years behind. Things are changing rapidly and the international unions seem to be sound asleep.
