".
Mr President, the Commission has already taken measures to inform citizens about the transitional arrangements relating to the free movement of workers.
An electronic guide on the subject of the free movement of workers to the new Member States is already operating and can be found on the Commission's website in 20 languages. At the same time, a printed leaflet will soon be available in all the languages.
As far as the Member States are concerned, we must make it clear that the Treaty makes provision during the first two years after accession for access to job markets to be the subject of bilateral agreements or national decisions by the Member States. Again according to the Treaty, the Member States are not obliged to tell the Commission what they intend to do during this stage. Of course, for reasons of transparency, the Commission has asked the Member States to notify their position and I should like to inform you that, so far, the United Kingdom and Ireland have stated that they intend to open the job markets fully, while Austria, Germany, Belgium, Finland and Denmark have stated that they will apply national measures for the first two years. Austria and Germany have also stated that they intend to cite the saving clause in order to limit access to certain service sectors listed in the Treaty. In all events, when we have all the information from all the Member States, we shall notify Parliament.
In addition, the Commission is in regular contact and cooperation with the services of the Member States, so that we can guarantee the uniform application of these transitional arrangements and can also proceed to issue certain interpretative guidelines which have to date been the subject of cooperation and consultation with the Member States."@en1
