The first answer is correct apart from the fact that some EC countries have not totally opened their labour markets to some East European (former Eastern Bloc) countries such as Poland and Slovakia. Instead of being done immediately on accession, this has been phased in over a number of years. The UK is considering doing the same for Romanian and Bulgarian citizens should their countries join in the future.
These regulations do not affect UK citizens wishing to work abroad and I have worked in France and Greece with no problems (apart from language).

Certain new member states have more stringent requirements, to avoid the entire young population of, for example, Poland, emigrating to other EU states to improve their job prospects. But yes, a UK citizen can go and work in France no hassle.
Some states - and do not know whether France is one or not - have a requirement that you register with the local police when you move to an area. This is not specific to EU migrants, and locals moving between different regions within the country would have a similar obligation - it is fairly routine, but may be worth checking in with the local station just in case!

Yes. It is within the EU. Poland is the same too, it used to be at a different status when it was during the process of integration, but now it is the same. You may need a work permit for certain professions, which is required for the citizens of the country itself too. For example, you can't work as a doctor anywhere unless you have some sort of validation from the local doctor's association. In Greece, if you want to be an architect, you have to pass a test at the Technical Chamber, in the UK at RIBA, etc.

UK citizens can work anywhere in EU.
Some of the new entrants have a delay in the reciprocal arrangement.
