The Work Permit Section of my Department returned an application in this case recently on the basis that the Department believes that a suitable employee from within the enlarged EU can fill the position. The employer was notified of this decision in writing. The employer may appeal this decision to my Department.

The Work Permit section of my Department took a decision to refuse this application on the basis that it is not for a highly paid or highly skilled job. Since the accession of the 10 new member states employers should look to the wider EU in the first instance to source labour needs that are not highly skilled or highly paid.
