Supported by the enlargement of the EU towards a number totalling 25 nations, the discrepancy between the minimum wages across EU country members has grown significantly. To illustrate this Bulgaria has minimum monthly wage of EUR 61.43 and in the Netherlands EUR 1,264.80.

This will lead to the fact that labour intensive work will be performed in countries with a low minimum wage, and high valuable work in the richer countries. Regulation has to be made that people, wherever they come from, they have to be paid at least the minimum wage corresponding to the country where the work is performed.

Overtime the current unequal discrepancy of minimum wages across the EU will decline because countries will further develop and gaining more prosperity. Furthermore, unequal wages will also be a fact that businesses have to deal with. Therefore, it’s better to take advantages on the fact of unequal wages across Europe. However, the EU has to ensure that legislation is supporting this by liberalising labour laws.
