Summary/Abstract: The Labour Migration and Labour Mobility Act (LMLMA), adopted in 2016, had to overcome the fragmentation of the regulation in various legal acts and introduce new standards regarding the access of foreigners to the Bulgarian labour market. Subject of the study are some restrictive measures, and in particular the question whether and to what extent they achieve the objectives of the law. The proposed analysis is based on the logic that if a clear purpose for a particular requirement cannot be identified and/or it can easily be circumvented, this raises serious doubts on the meaning of its existence. Indeed, less than two years after their adoption, in May 2018 a number of provisions of the LMLMA were amended, and the regime was generally liberalized. The reasons are not only in the real needs of the labor market but also in the perceived inefficiency of some of the restrictive measures initially introduced.
