Bulgarians poorest in EU

A new study shows that Bulgarians have the lowest per capita GDP (after adjustment for purchasing power) in the EU. Bulgarians have only 41% of the purchasing power of the EU average, and less than a third of the purchasing power available in the most prosperous nations like Austria, Ireland, and the Netherlands. The dream of a united Europe, while perhaps much closer than it was in 1945, is still a long, long way off.
