That's a shame it is still the case, as the promise of entering the EU was for wages to normalise across the Union. I guess it will take further integration for that to happen.

It was 6x back when Poland joined the EU in 2004, so a lot of progress has been made already.

It's a lengthy process, but it's happening.

Even if that approach was to work, it takes a long time.

Ireland joined in 1973, but didn't really become "rich" like the rest of Western Europe till the turn of the millenium.
