Summary/Abstract: The increase in labour demand is prompting the German authorities to introduce immigration policy reforms. However, the changes must take into account the growing social concerns related to the inflow of foreigners. The government plans to open the country’s labour market to selected citizens of countries outside the EU, but with distinct restrictions. Work on the new regulations and implementation may be a valuable source of experience for Poland, which also faces a dilemma of how to open up to labour immigration.
