France supports Bulgaria and Romania’s accession to Schengen and hopes they will join the area soon via their sea and air borders, and later with their land ones. This is what French Ambassador to Bulgaria Xavier Lapeyre de Cabanes stated today, as he joined a meeting in Sofia of officials from French companies, members of the French-Bulgarian Chamber of Commerce, with the Minister of Economy and Energy Dragomir Stoynev. Ambassador Cabanes further said that though just 3% of French investments in Europe had chosen Bulgaria, there were still about a hundred companies operating in this country and employing 10,000. The first thing that we can do is make Bulgaria better known to the French, the ambassador said and added that on January 1 France had opened its labor market to workers from Bulgaria and Romania without even a hint of concern, unlike Germany and UK.
