Sweden does u-turn on new EU workers
The Guardian Weekly, February 5-11 2004
Sweden has become the latest EU state to restrict entry for workers from the 10 countries joining the union
in May, for fear that its welfare systems will come under unacceptable pressure, writes Ian Black.
Last Friday s u-turn by Goran Persson, the Social Democratic prime minister, (16) __________ that all
the 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 after
Europe 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 from
Poland, 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 free
movement 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 and
Hungary 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 and
protect ourselves, he said. We would be naive if we didn t see the risks if we were to be the only country
welcoming 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 rising
unemployment and anti-immigration feelings. Denmark has imposed similar restrictions, initially for two
years.
In 1989 the UN refugees agency predicted that 25 million people from the communist bloc would move to
the West in the 1990s; it turned out to be fewer than 2.5 million.
