Nine EU states are to share the arguments behind their decisions to stop Bulgarians and Romanians from their labor markets until the end of 2013 during EU's Council of Employment and Social Policy Ministers on Friday.

Economic and social insecurity fueled by the financial crisis are to be presented as the leading arguments for most of these countries, the Bulgarian National Radio reports.

The labor market restrictions for Bulgarians and Romanians were to be imposed only if serious problems existed on their labor markets or if the danger existed of such problems to occur.

The European Commission can decide to impose sanctions if it reckons this was not the case, but such option is deemed highly improbable.

The last nine EU Member States to restrict or partially restrict the access of Bulgarian and Romanian workers to their labor markets are Austria, Belgium, Germany, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Malta, France, Great Britain and Ireland

Currently, Bulgarians enjoy full labor rights in Denmark, Estonia, Cyprus, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Slovenia, Slovakia, Finland, Sweden, Hungary, Greece, Spain, Portugal and the Czech Republic, and now Italy.
