Spain, Portugal and Finland open their labour markets to workers from new EU's member states - Mar. 14, 2006 - by Francisco Rodero
As from 1 May 2006, the Governments of Spain, Portugal and Finland intend to open their labour markets to workers who are nationals of the new EU’s member states. The two-year transitional period adopted on 1 May 2004 by most of the older EU’s member states will not be prolonged by Spain, Portugal and Finland. This means that these 3 countries, in addition to the United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden which did not apply any transitional measures at all, will allow new EU’s member states nationals to access their labour markets in the same conditions that the rest of EU’s nationals. Therefore, basketball players who are nationals of one of the following countries: the Czech Republic, Estonia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovakia and Slovenia, will not need anymore a residence and work permit to play in Spain, Portugal and Finland as from 1 May 2006. The United Kingdom, Ireland and Sweden had already opened their labour markets as from 1 May 2004. This is good news for European integration, free circulation of workers and in particular for basketball players who are nationals of one of the new EU’s member states.
