All hail New...World Order.] Schroeder Insists on Seven-year Polish Labor Movement Ban SZCZECIN, POLAND, Aug 15, 2001 -- (dpa) German Chancellor Gerhard Schroeder was expected on Tuesday to underscore his demand that Polish workers be barred working in Germany for seven years after Poland's admission to the European Union. A one-day meeting of Schroeder and Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski and Prime Minister Jerzy Buzek in Szczecin - a German city called Stettin until the Nazi World War II defeat in 1945 - was also expected to focus on trade and transport issues. Leaders from both countries are accompanied by industrialists and Schroeder has brought the head of Germany's national railway to the meeting. Schroeder's insistence that Polish labor stay out of Germany for seven years after Warsaw's entry to the European Union (EU) is based on fears that cheaper Polish workers will exacerbate the already grim economic situation on Germany's eastern border. "This will prevent price and wage-dumping for a transition period," said Schroeder in remarks to reporters. Unemployment in some German districts along the Polish frontier runs higher than 24 percent, compared with the national rate of 9.2 percent. Poland, which is expected to become an EU member in 2003 or 2004, opposes a forced transition period for free labor movement. Schroeder is currently at the start of a two-week trip along Germany's border with Poland and the Czech Republic in a bid to bolster support for EU enlargement.
