European Free Trade Association opens up boarders
With the debate as to whether to crack down on illegal immigrants in the US rages, Poland has just made it much easier for foreign laborers to work. Citizens from Denmark, Austria, Belgium, and others can now work in Poland (and many other places) without work visas. This opening of the labor market is one of the free-trade, free labor principles of the European Free Trade Association of which Denmark is a part.
This article should be very interesting to those who are interested in our own foreign labor debate because it is a prime example of other countries making it easier to import labor. The idea is that with the lessening of controls on movement of labor, it will reduce the problem of immobility of labor and will make production more efficent.
Hope you enjoy!

Danish whisky tax
Because drinking like your job doesn't pay too well...you might want to head to Denmark, where a reduction of almost half of the duty of whisky has cut prices substantially. it is now cheaper to buy whisky in "copenhagen than it is in Edinburgh." who would have thought. The severe reduction in tax on whisky will likely lead to an influx in whisky imports and domestic production as well as an influx in consumption. It also may well make surrounding states such as Sweden reduce their taxes to compete with the suddenly low prices of Danish whisky.
This small scale example gives us a view of what will happen with a sudden change in a duty (which are fairly uncommon) and it provides it in a field I am sure many can relate to. This change, especially before competing markets can catch up, will likely give a substantial boost to the Danish whisky market. Free-Trade for all and hope you enjoy the article.

european tariffs
this doesn't article is not directly about my country which is why i put two up, but it does deal with free trade in Europe which is always pretty interesting.
despite its proclomations to support free-trade, many european states still have heavy barriers against free trade in their countries. countries are trying to open their economies up fully, though some this could open them up to health risks and domestic agricultural problems. this is an interesting article which talks about the issue and the politics behind it. you can really see a real world example of what it is like to really open the world up to free-trade and who thinks what about it.
hope you read and enjoy! martin d
