New employment regulations for foreigners, but from when?

European Union citizens will be free to settle in Poland on condition that they have a legal source of income. The regulations allowing EU citizens to apply for work in Poland have already been drafted, however the date of their enactment still remains unknown. Poland has the right to apply its own legislation on this issue until 2011. The government has announced that employment restrictions will be lifted much sooner than envisaged as they might discourage foreign investors from locating capital in Poland. The regulations apply only to the private sector, however the European Commission has not received any information from the government as to when and on what terms foreigners will be able to apply for positions in the public sector.
