UK keeps partial block on EU immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria

4th November 2009 By Sten No Comment

Immigrants from Romania and Bulgaria will be denied open door access to Britain for at least another two years, the Daily Mail reports.

The two countries have been clamouring for the same rights of unrestricted movement given to other Eastern European countries, such as Poland, when they joined the EU, but Home Office have opted to keep in place restrictions on the right of Romanians and Bulgarians to take jobs in the UK until at least the end of 2011.

A maximum of 21,250 agricultural workers from Romania and Bulgaria will be allowed to enter Britain each year, plus a further 3,500 people to fill food processing jobs.
