Emigration to Bulgaria should be regulated by setting special criteria for people from other countries, the State Economic and Social Council claimed, cited by Darik News.
Citizens from other countries should be permitted to reside in Bulgaria after they are found eligible on several criteria, such as education, work qualifications and needs of the country's business.
The Council also suggested that a special service for emigration to be founded, as well as the creation of a unit that will closely observe the fulfilment of the Lisbon criteria.
The suggestions were made at the presentation of recommendations of the Council on the execution of the national program for reforms in Bulgaria for the 2006-2009 period.
