A broad-based working group is to be launched in the coming days. The group includes international experts, brought in by the EC, who will assist Bulgaria in the full transposition of a European directive regulating the criteria for determining the minimum wage, Minister of Labour and Social Policy Ivanka Shalapatova said in an interview with Nova TV. Minister Shalapatova stated further that the cabinet’s policy is for incomes to go up. “If we don’t invest in incomes, in labor productivity and competences there is no way we can live in a European country,” she said.
