Last Friday s u-turn by Goran Persson, the Social Democratic prime minister, (16) __________ that allthe existing member states except Britain and Ireland will impose some limits.

Germany, France and Italy had long made it clear that they would retain immigration controls afterEurope s biggest enlargement, but Denmark, the Netherlands, Greece and Sweden have changed course.

Britain (17) ___________ by its decision to allow free entry to citizens of the new member states. Rules(18) _____________ in place to prevent abuse of the benefit system, as are special controls in case they(19) ____________, said a government spokesman. But the British economy (20) __________ cheap,skilled workers.

It (21) _____________ that between 5,000 and 13,000 people a year are likely to come to Britain fromPoland, Hungary, the Czech Republic, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Slovakia and Slovenia, Cyprus and Malta.The newcomers (22) ____________ wait until 2011 for full implementation of the EU s principle of freemovement of people, goods and capital. But restrictions (23) ___________ certain to cause resentment.

Germany and Austria (24) ____________ an influx of cheap labour from Poland, the Czech Republic andHungary and their restrictions are expected to last for the maximum of seven years.

In 2002 Mr Persson pledged that Sweden would not limit access for workers from new member states.

But last week he was unrepentant. We have to be realistic and (25) ____________ that if everyone else(26) ___________ transition arrangements are necessary, then we (27) ___________ aware of the risks andprotect ourselves, he said. We would be naive if we didn t see the risks if we were to be the only countrywelcoming people from east Europe to work for peanuts and giving them access to our social benefits.

The Netherlands has decided to restrict to 22,000 the number of work permits granted, amid risingunemployment and anti-immigration feelings. Denmark has imposed similar restrictions, initially for twoyears.
