The Netherlands' labour market will gradually open for Bulgarian and Romanian workers, the Dutch Ambassador to Bulgaria said in an interview for Sofia News Agency.

"A transitional regime will be in force for an initial period of two years as of 1 January 2007. During those two years a working permit will be given in those cases where qualified personnel cannot be found on the Dutch labour market," Ambassador Willem van Ee explained.

After the first year of this transitional regime, the Dutch government will evaluate the national and European labour situation and may decide to open the labour market further.

According to Ambassador Van Ee the policy is in line with the accession treaty signed with Bulgaria and Romania and follows the approach chosen for the countries that became EU-member in 2004.
