Unemployed Bulgarians and Romanians must leave The Netherlands

Wed, Dec 17 2008 11:40 CET byRene Beekman 347 Views
Bulgarians and Romanians, along with others from outside the European Union, will have to leave The Netherlands if their employment is terminated, local media reported.

A majority in the Dutch parliament asked the Dutch cabinet on December 16 to make necessary legal changes for this.

Bulgarians and Romanians currently need to have a work permit to be allowed to work in The Netherlands.

At the end of November 2008, the Dutch parliament decided to extend the transition period, which allows it to keep its labour market closed for Bulgarian and Romanian workers, until the end of 2011. This will mean that Bulgaria and Romania will effectively have had restrictions imposed on their workers for five years. Both countries joined the European Union in January 2007.

In addition, the Dutch parliament said it wants to restrict the rights of workers from Bulgaria and Romania to social welfare.

Christian-democrats and conservatives have said they want the length of someone's service in the local labour market to be the decisive factor in a person's entitlement to receive unemployment benefits, Dutch daily Reformatorisch Dagblad said.
