Europol welcomes Bulgaria

Europol is a consortium of countries in Europe that take part in the fight against terrorism, drug trafficking, illegal immigration, human trafficking, money laundering, radioactive substances trafficking and many other illegal activities.

Although Bulgarian became a member officially on the 1st of August this year, the official ceremony will take place on 3rd October in the Hague where the Europol Headquarters are based. Romania is also to be included.

The Europol leaders said that Bulgaria was a "necessary partner" within the Europol system.

This is more reassurance within Bulgaria and certainly a stick in the spokes to anyone who thinks that Bulgaria can be a hiding place for illegal practices, including expatriates!

Also this will give even more confidence to foreign investment and to the property market in general.
