Press Release: 100.000 calls to Europe Direct in 2007

Europe Direct, the European Commission's information hotline, received its 100.000th question this year on 13th November. The question came from Ms. Sandrine Jean from the South of France who rang EUROPE DIRECT's free-phone number 00800 6 7 8 9 10 11 and asked: 'I am calling from the Social and cultural centre ODYSSEE in Gard (France). We would be interested to know if workers from Poland still need to obtain a work permit and a residence card in France. Can you help?' The question was promptly answered by Rasa, one of the information officers of the Contact Centre's multilingual staff.
