Met dank overgenomen van Europese Commissie (EC), gepubliceerd op donderdag 10 december 2020.
The German Council Presidency, the European Parliament and the Commission today discussed in a constructive atmosphere the main political elements of the reform of the EU Blue Card directive.
The three institutions consider the reform of the EU Blue Card a key element to relaunch EU legal migration policy, which is essential to the comprehensive EU approach on migration. The aim is to better attract highly qualified and skilled third-country workers needed by the EU economy through a revised EU-wide instrument. Today the three institutions made progress towards a political agreement on the key elements of the reform, and are confident it could be reached in the next months.
