BBC NEWS | Europe | EU 'Blue Card' to target skilled
BBC NEWS | Europe | EU 'Blue Card' to target skilled: "he European Commission has unveiled a Blue Card for skilled immigrants, based on the US Green Card. The plan would allow suitably qualified people and their families to live and work within the European Union. The EU says it needs 20m skilled workers over the next two decades, and is very short of expertise in engineering and computer technology. The scheme, which is more restrictive than the US Green Card, would need the approval of all 27 EU member states. Correspondents say another aim of the plan is to reverse a current trend under which skilled migrants, mostly from Asia and Africa, emigrate to the US to find work."
