Prelungirea restricţiilor privind accesul pe pieţele interne ale muncii a fost decisă în ciuda recomandării adresate de Comisia Europeană, care arăta că mobilitatea lucrătorilor est-europeni nu a bulversat pieţele muncii şi a determinat creşterea economică.
The decision has been made to extend the restrictions on access to domestic labour markets, in spite of the recommendations made by the European Commission, which indicate that the mobility of Eastern European workers has not upset labour markets and has actually generated economic growth.
