"Labour migration into Europe boosts our competitiveness and therefore our economic growth.
It also helps tackle demographic problems resulting from our ageing population."
José Manuel Barroso

Objectives

The EU Blue Card Scheme is designed to make Europe a more attractive destination for highly educated persons from outside the European Union. All EU member states, except the United Kingdom, Denmark and Ireland, participate in the EU Blue Card scheme.

Highly qualified persons have opted in the past for destinations such as the United States, Canada or Australia. The European initiative has a number of distinctive qualities that will help Europe become the world's most favourite migration destination:

• - Working and salary conditions equal to nationals
• - Free movement within the Schengen area
• - Entitlement to a series of socio-economic rights
• - Favourable conditions for family reunification
• - Permanent residence perspective
• - Freedom of association
