France may open its labor market for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens this autumn if a proposal of the local Greens is passed by the French Senate. The proposal moved by Senator Aline Archibaud will be voted at the beginning of October.
Speaking in an interview for the Bulgarian National Radio, BNR, Saturday, the Senator informed that she has submitted a draft proposal in the Senate, calling on the government in Paris to immediately lift the restrictions for Bulgarian and Romanian citizens to access her country's labor market.
Currently, the restrictions are effective until January 1, 2014.
The Greens in France share the opinion that the Bulgarian and the Romanian workers will not threaten the local workers’ employment opportunities, but will contribute with taxes and social payments to the country’s social security system.
