A Scottish entrepreneur is gearing up to bring Bulgarian workers to Britain despite calls for the government to set tight limits on their number, the Sunday Herald reported.
Peebles-based Charles Cormack and his Bulgarian business partner Diana Radeva are opening a recruitment agency in Varna to supply labour once Bulgaria and Romania join the European Union in January. The news comes in defiance of calls for blocking the free movement of workers from the 2 countries once they accede to the bloc.
Cormack, however, said his plans were still likely to go ahead. ‘I can’t second guess what the government will do. But it won’t stop our plans. At the very most it would delay things. They could put in a quota system. In that case, Bulgarian workers will still be coming to the UK. ‘Job creation is still increasing in the UK, even though unemployment is growing. The economy is growing because of migrant labourers.’
Cormack pointed out that the numbers of migrants coming from accession states like Poland and Slovenia could start declining as they choose to work in other countries like Sweden, Finland, Greece and Spain, which have recently lifted migration controls. ‘As other countries are forced to take more people from the countries that joined the EU in 2004, we will start to need people.’
