The EU is at it again!

We've already seen the chaos resulting from the EU admitting a dozen
or so 'east' European entities through purely political reasons ...
ignoring the fact that they could not even match the financial status
regulations that the UK itself at one time struggled to meet for
entry ... ignoring the fact that all were negative contributors from
the start and are now soaking up EU funds ... ignoring the fact that
free passage of labour is already causing chaos within 'western'
European members.

Now, they're jumping the gun in an even worse fashion.
Albania and Bosnia 'intend' to become members in around 10 years time
(Bosnia has virtually no credible government or even currency, for
xxxxxxx sake).
Yet they're about to be awarded 'free labour transit' in advance
anyway! They won't even have to slip into Slovenia in order to gain
entry.

Lunacy!!!

Admitting *UK caused chaos too. :-)

Mainly in UK.

Of course David Cameron will veto this as he promised to do prior to being
elected.

What is the unemployment rate?

Has there been downward pressure on wages from these Eastern European
workers?

Or are they mostly doing low-skilled jobs that the indigenous mostly
eschew?
