Welcome to European Tribune. It's gone a bit quiet around here these days, but it's still going.

Do you know, when Romanians gets free movement in the EU? I would guess, it takes a couple of years. The previous round of countries gets (likely) full free movement only in 2011.

It's the same deal as with the previous round of entrants. Up to the discretion of every other EU country for five years - i.e. until Jan 1. 2012. At that point a country can ask the EU commission for the right to further postpone freedom of work for Romanians and Bulgarians for another two years. From Jan 1 2014 they automatically have full work rights.

NB The five year period is about to end for that previous group.

Italy and Spain had free movement granted for Romanians and Bulgarians this January, although they have the right to review in 6 months.
