Cornel, You may find the following link informative.
Citizens Advice Bureaux around the UK have seen a big increase in the numbers of EU nationals - particularly from Portugal - seeking advice on employment and housing, following exploitation by gangmasters. The national advice charity has been campaigning for better information for workers from the EU about their rights and employment terms and conditions, before they arrive in the UK. http://www.citizensadvice.org.uk/index/pressoffice/press_index/press-031118 htm Teotonio R. de Souza Date: Mon, 15 May 2006 17:39:08 -0400 From: cornel <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [Goanet] Re: European Union - citizenship et al To: goanet@goanet.org Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 .......... I am not sure that .....someone from Portugal or any EU member has as much right as a UK citizen regarding work etc notwithstanding that work is currently plentiful here. I only say this because very recently, a distant Goan Portuguese national relation of mine, (by marriage), was required to return to France when he could obtain work here, and desperately wanted to remain here. His English was excellent but he was forced to seek work in France (being married to a French national) and to struggle with French. I think a work permit is still a requirement .........
