European Union offers 1500 jobs for Polish recruits with right qualifications

Next year the European Commission will decide how many and what kind of positions Poles will be offered in EU institutions. In a report sent to the European Parliament the European Commission informs that it expects that all aspiring countries except Romania, Bulgaria and Turkey will join the Alliance in two years. The number of positions reserved for Poles range from 1200 to 1500. They will be staffed gradually within the first years of Poland's membership in the EU. The European Commission expects that as many as 100,000 Poles will be ready to take part in exams for the posts which require a good command of English, French and other official languages spoken in the EU, as well as a general knowledge of European integration process In related news, according to a Eurostat report, apart from Latvia and Lithuania, Poland will be the poorest of the candidate countries to enter the Union.(Rzeczpospolita, p.
