Hi John-- I do hope this is true as all these countries will benefit by seeing such a boom in tourism.

I know that you are Polish and let me tell you that getting a Polish tourist visa is such a tough job --almost impossible for some country nationals.(like India)

Not really. If you meet the (rather relaxed) requirements you are almost guaranteed of getting a tourist visa to Poland. People who complain of tough visa requirements are the ones who go to the embassy without first reading the list of requirements and then are surprised when they are told to come back once they've got all the necessary documention.
In a few years time we'll look back on immigration control like we look back on American prohibition in the thirties - futile and counter-productive.

I agree with Dawie, I applied for a visa at the Polish embassy in Dublin, had an appointment at 9:00 and was out of the embassy by 9:45 with the visa in my passport. The biggest delay was caused by the embassy not having sufficient change to give me after I had paid for the visa.

It doesn't mention what countries will be included exactly. Does anyone have a grounded idea?

It refers to all the new EU entrants like Slovakia, Poland Czech etc.

This will be very beneficial to all the visa nationals with a RESIDENCE PERMIT living in these new EU countries as they will then not need a Shengen visa after this date.

I hope it includes Lithuania too, so that I can go visit my girlfriend without dealing with their horrendous bureucracy. I obtained visas from a bunch of countries, including difficult ones like USA and Norway, and yet the Lithuanians don't even let me apply for a visa; because my girlfriend doesn't own the apartment she lives in, and therefore can't officially invite me!
