@GamingChartzFTW - wasn't there also some limitations imposed on the freedom of movement of persons due to be removed by 2011.

 

Good question.

I'm not sure. The thing I do know is that some countries protect their own labour markets from poor new members by making agreements bilaterally or unilaterally.
They are not allowed to do that forever though. At a certain point a member state will have to open up the labour market.

For how long is a nation allowed to 'protect' itself? I believe that is negotiable.
