German Resistance to Blue Card
An article in Germany's Deutsche Welle, Germany Suspicious About EU Blue Card Plan, expresses a number of common worries of several EU member states. The article states that Germany's primary concern is "that the EU might eventually impose quotas on the number of immigrants who can enter individual member states". The EU Commission Vice-President Franco Frattini, has said that Brussels will not attempt to determine how many individuals member states need...member states will choose for themselves. Member states also have the option of choosing not to adopt the Blue Card rather than blocking it all together.
