Originally posted by Mich the Tester View PostWell I think it's a bad idea to regulate migration if you're not prepared to regulate trade and business. Personally I'm in favour of as much freedom for business AND migration as possible, but I think the two need to go together. If labour's expensive in the UK, then companies CAN choose to hire cheaper people from Elbonia, but they could also choose to move to Elbonia and exploit people there (while sacking their British workers), especially if you prevent Elbonians leaving and going somewhere better. As it stands now, people who feel they are being exploited or treated like tulip somewhere in Europe can go somewhere else where they'll get a better deal; that applies to you just as much as it applies to Romanians and Bulgarians; following market theory that should discourage poor employers and governments who treat people like tulip, because their people will leave.Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much.Comment

Originally posted by Paddy View PostBulgaria has a high standard of education. HP has moved to Sofia, and Lufthansa has moved aircraft maintenance from China to Sofia. Other attractions for business are low taxes, low business rates and cheap industrial land. Wages are lower but so is the cost of living therefore it is not much advantage for a worker to move to the UK.Last edited by stevejohnson; 8 October 2012, 20:26.Comment
