Scotland Welcomes Bulgarian Job Seekers

[Suzanne]

Scotland is ready to welcome Bulgarian and Romanian job seekers even if Great Britain decides to introduce restrictions for these two countries' workers after they become full members of the Union, The Sunday Times writes. The newspaper quotes Jack McConnell, high-ranking representative of Scottish government, in whose opinion fresh immigrants will resolve the demographic crisis in the country, where the birth rate has slumped in recent years. Currently we are discussing a solution that will enable the Bulgarian and Romanian qualified workers to find jobs in Scotland easier than in the other parts of Great Britain, McConnell said in an interview with Sunday Times.
Meanwhile, a survey quoted by the same newspaper shows that Ireland needs at least 30,000 immigrants a year to fill vacancies in service sector. According to a report of the International Organization for Migration, fresh labor force from Eastern Europe is not used efficiently. Instead of harnessing high potential of these qualified workers, business owners often employ them as dishwashers.

I have to agree with Jack Mc Connell on this one !! I married a beautiful well educated Bulgarski momiche . There is no way she will be coming here to do work below here standard of education . But im in some what difficulty understanding what happens after 1st January 2007 will my wife still need a visa or work permit to come here just to visit - can she not come here for 3 months and seek employment while living here ? . But also Mc Connell has not addressed the issue of some people that come here are maybe not so well educated but are doing jobs that others refuse to do . http://shenkova-gray-kardjali.wetpaint.com/#
