"Poland was the biggest of ten new countries to join the EU during its 'big bang' expansion a year ago, which took EU membership from 15 to 25.
But it wasn't exactly made to feel welcome by the rest of the European club.
Fears of being swamped by cheap workers from Poland led the established EU countries to put up barriers blocking the free movement of Polish workers."
