The European Union unveiled a new immigration strategy last week that outlines plans to attract more foreign workers in the coming years to deal with skills shortages and make it easier for immigrants to obtain visas.
According to Malmstrom, the measures would help immigrants find jobs in the EU that match their skills. The new approach is detailed in a renewed 'Global Approach to Migration and Mobility' (GAMM) ; This will setup partnerships with non-EU countries to come up with common immigration policies.
"The new EU Global Approach to Migration and Mobility represents the strategic framework which is necessary to bring added value to the EU's and Member States' action in this area," said Malmstrom.
The GAMM has two components:
"Over the next two or three years, the European Union as a whole will need about 2 million people in the health sector, for example, doctors and nurses," she said. "We know that some specific countries need engineers, they need IT specialists and so on."
Additionally, the EU launched a website this month to provide information for foreigners interested in moving to the EU. Applicants can use the portal to find out what opportunities exist to work or study in the EU.
