Bulgaria and Romania joined the EU in 2007 and people from those two countries can already work without permits, and in any sector, in 17 EU countries. The majority of people who chose to leave Bulgaria and Romania to settle elsewhere in the EU have gone to Spain and Italy where they mainly work in construction, agriculture and jobs that involve caring for the elderly and people with disabilities.
