Comparing data
Sweden and Ireland are the other two countries that allow unlimited access to the citizens of the new member states.
In Ireland, 128,000 east Europeans registered to work from May 2004 to August 2005, while Sweden registered about 16,000 new member states' workers from May 2004 to early October last year. There are some reports of newcomers pushing wages down.

Jim Flanagin, a 48-year-old bricklayer, told the New York Times that east Europeans work for about a quarter less than normal. The European Commission is currently gathering comparable data on transition measures applied by twelve EU states since enlargement. The information will be used for a special report on the free movement of workers, due in January. The paper will also include recommendations for further steps in the area of labour migration.

Member states are expected to decide by April this year, whether they will apply a second stage of restrictions, and top up their transition period for another three years, until 2009. For the moment, Austria and Germany have made clear they do not intend to lift their barriers because of their unemployment rates. France has suggested it will follow the same strategy, although it has established bilateral agreements on seasonal work with several of the new member states. On the other hand, Spain is reported to be interested in lifting the restrictions, while some member states argue they have put in place easy or completely automatic work permit administration.
