Italy may open its labour market to workers from Romania if Bucharest agrees to co-operate on combating organised crime. Different conditions may apply to Bulgarian workers. The Italian Minister of the Interior, Giuliano Amato, announced his intention to "sign, within the coming weeks, a treaty with Romania on strengthened co-operation in the field of combating organised crime". He added: "There will be unrestrained free movement of workers only if this treaty works out well. The present level of co-operation is not sufficient." Amato said that "the same approach does not necessarily apply to workers from Bulgaria"."
