Recalling that the registered unemployment rate in this country in July was 6.7 percent, Minister Petkov pointed out that the number of unemployed is currently the lowest for the entire period in which the Employment Agency has been keeping statistics.

An important upcoming task in the Cabinet's social policy is improving adoption procedures and extend support for adoptive parents through changes to the Family Code and the sub-legislation in this area, it was reported.
