Poland in Schengen Group

What are the feelings of the polish ppl knowing that they will in January 2008 be in the Schengen group????

what is this group?

Just quick border crossing.

That's wrong. We shouldn't open our borders.

It is not wrong .. it will happen soon. and i am sure it si a good thing for your country. but on the other side i do not know what will be the impact of being in schengen group for other ppl who need visas to enter your country...

Won't change anything.

Grzegorz, so you believe it's OK when the western Europe opens the borders for us but we shouldn't open our borders?

A great feeling.........

Is this 100%

everything shows that Poland is going to sign the treaty for becoming part of Schengen.. to join the other 15 other countries. it will be very very good for you polish people because you will be free to go everywhere in these countries.

I think in general it will be good for us and for everyone else in EU.

I think that we already have "opened" borders, I'm against zero control on the borders. Even UK is not in Schengen, so why should we ?

Obviously there are also negatives to it.

you should ask this question to your government.....

this was pulled off a website about it

Poland and Slovakia should join the Europe's passport-free Schengen zone in 2007, the two countries' prime ministers agreed during their meeting in Warsaw on Thursday, the PAP news agency reported.

The talks focused on a delay in the two countries' joining the Schengen border-free zone, originally planned for October 2007, but delayed until October 2008, as announced by EU commissioner for internal affairs and justice Franco Frattini, during a meeting of EU interior ministers in Luxembourg on Thursday.


not alot is actually mentioned about it to be honest when googled!

well, we're are already partially passport-free, I don't know about trips to UK, but you can travel on the continent with only your ID card, I guess it's not a big problem. But I travel by car, not sure if I'd need a passport for a flight. And border crossing isn't that slow either, you just show your ID/passport, and off you go, it takes 1-2 minutes in most cases

good for me, i dont need visa for Poland any more!
I am chinese, have schengen visa. only this year, polish visa used six pages in my passport. I have to change my passport. that wouldnt happen again!

U re right Moire, It will be nice for them to join and they will also ve the previlage of using Euro though it has little advantages
