EU Liberalizes Labour-Markets

What “The Blue Card” prophesies to the former Soviet Union countries

The failure of ratification of the Lisbon agreement in Ireland has become one of key failures of the policy of the EU. However, there were some more problems: presently the necessity to solve a new dilemma of development of countries-members has appeared before the international organization – that is the overcoming of deficit of skilled labour force and avoidance of ageing of European nations, if possible. Basically, that is the officially proclaimed purpose of the EU in connection with the introduction of so called “Blue Card”. The Blue Card is a document due to which labour immigrants from countries which are not the members of the EU will be able to move freely on its territory in search of work.
