In figures of the European Commission presented at the European Parliament the number of Bulgarians sent to work in the rest of EU states comes to 0.5 percent of the workforce of the country.

Most often Bulgarians are posted to work in France, Belgium and Germany.

In the meantime, the share of workers from other EU states accepted in Bulgaria is five times smaller (0.1 percent of the country’s workforce).

The figures were presented in connection with the debate on changes to the Posting of Workers Directive which pertains to workers sent by their employers for temporary jobs in EU countries other than their own.
