EU entrants no cure for Slovak brain drain.
(From The Slovak Spectator)
Byline: Tom Nicholson Spectator staff
Bulgarians and Romanians likely to be drawn more to higher wages in Western countries AS BULGARIA and Romania celebrated the promise of their admission to the European Union as of next year, Slovakias top politicians declared that their country should open its labour market to the EUs newest members.
Foreign Minister Jan KubiS and Labour Minister Viera Tomanova agreed during talks on September 28 that allowing Bulgarians and Rumanians to work in Slovakia without visas would not have a huge impact on the Slovak economy.
"I will personally push for our labour market to be opened to Bulgaria and Romania," said KubiS.
The final decision lies with the cabinet.
Given the disgruntlement of Slovaks with the decision of most of the original 15 EU members to leave labour market barriers in place following the last enlargement round in 2004, the political mood in Bratislava following the news that Bulgaria and Romania would join the EU on January 1, 2007 was one of ostentatious brotherhood with the newcomers.
