EU Blue Card Approved
On May 25, 2009, the Council of the European Union adopted the Blue Card Directive. The aim of this directive is to make it easier for highly skilled workers to immigrate to EU countries for work by creating a fast track procedure for the EU Blue Card. EU member states have two years now to comply with the new directive. You can read a copy of the press release announcing the acceptance of this directive here.
The adoption of this directive should not only help EU countries achieve growth in the face of an aging population and lower birthrates, but also benefit foreign workers, particularly from India.
