Now it’s the Europe blue card
The European Commission has unveiled a Blue Card for skilled immigrants, its version of the US Green Card.
If accepted by member nations, the card would allow suitably qualified people and their families to live and work within the EU.
The EU says it needs 20 million skilled immigrants over the next 20 years, and is very short of expertise in engineering and computer technology.
Correspondents say another aim of the proposal is to deter the best brains from emigrating to the US and Canada to find work.
