Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(1) The Union and individual Member States are facing shortages in a wide range of sectors and occupations, including in those relevant for the green and digital transitions. Extensive shortages in construction, healthcare, hospitality, transport, information and communications technology and in science technology, engineering and mathematics, are long-standing and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the acceleration of the green and digital transitions. Labour shortages are expected to persist and potentially aggravate in the light of demographic challenges.deleted

Extensive shortages in construction, healthcare, hospitality, transport, information and communications technology and in science technology, engineering and mathematics, are long-standing and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic, the lack of investment in Europe and the inability to keep young European talent in the EU because of unappealing salaries, and by the acceleration of the green and digital transitions. Labour shortages are expected to persist and potentially aggravate in the light of demographic challenges. It should be noted that it is the duty of the Union and the Member States to put in place specific measures to address these shortages and to promote birth-rate policies aimed at ending the demographic decline.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(1 a) The Union population is projected to shrink significantly, from 451 million in 2022 to 406 million in 2050. The number of working-age people is projected to decline even more, from 264 million to 207 million – a 21 percent decline. Meanwhile, the number of elderly people (65 or over) is projected to increase by 32 million over this period, and the number of children (under 20) is projected to decline by 21 million.

Text proposed by the CommissionAmendment
(2) Addressing labour shortages requires a comprehensive approach at Union and national level which includes, as a priority, better realising the full potential of groups with lower labour market participation, reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce, facilitating intra-EU labour mobility, as well as improving working conditions and the attractiveness of certain occupations. Due to the current scale of the labour market shortages and the demographic trends, measures targeting the domestic and Union workforce alone are likely to be insufficient to address existing and future labour and skills shortages. Therefore, legal migration is key to complement those actions and must be part of the solution to fully support the twin transition.(2) Addressing labour shortages requires a comprehensive approach at Union and national level which includes, as a priority, better realising the full potential of groups with lower labour market participation, reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce, facilitating intra-EU labour mobility, as well as improving working conditions and the attractiveness of certain occupations. However, due to the current scale of the labour market shortages and the demographic trends, measures targeting the domestic and Union workforce alone will be insufficient to address existing and future labour and skills shortages. The Commission estimates that due to the foreseen decline in the working age population, at least 7 million more people will be needed in Europe by 2030. Therefore, legal migration is key to complement those actions and must be part of the solution to fully support the twin transition and ensure the competitiveness and sustained economic growth of the Union.

It is also important to step up the measures to combat fraud and abuse in the national unemployment benefit systems. Due to the current scale of the labour market shortages and the demographic trends, measures targeting the domestic and Union workforce alone are likely to be insufficient to address existing and future labour and skills shortages.

Determining the number of third-country nationals to be granted a residence permit as employees or self-employed persons is a national competence. It therefore has to be for Member States to decide whether or not to participate in the EU Talent Pool, and it is important that the division of competences between the EU and Member States be respected. EU initiatives should always be designed in such a way as to avoid duplication of existing tools.

In addition to this, the problem of uncontrolled migration must be solved because it has eroded the welfare of nations and created limitless obstacles to the growth of prosperity, as previously homogeneous societies become increasingly fragmented, insecure and completely unpredictable. Therefore, illegals must be denied entry; illegals must be detained and then deported; all assistance to illegal migrants must be criminalised; migrants who fail to adapt after five to ten years must be deported; migrants who commit criminal offences must lose their citizenship and be deported, together with their families – reverse family reunification.

Hence, ‘Talent’ is an encompassing term referring to the entire range of skills that might be needed by the Member States’ labour markets.(5) Since labour shortages are a Union-wide problem, a strategic and unified approach is required in order to address them.

Member States’ specific needs should be taken into account in the development of the EU Talent Pool in order to ensure the most successful implementation possible by, for example, not affecting Member States' competence to determine the volumes of third-country nationals to be admitted for employment purposes. ‘Talent’ is an encompassing term referring to the entire range of skills that might be needed by the Member States’ labour markets. To facilitate the creation of mutual gains for both third countries and the EU and its Member States, address brain drain and encourage circular migration, synergies should be ensured with EU-funded education programmes in third countries, such as the Global Partnership for Education, Education Cannot Wait, the Erasmus+ programme, and other VET and skills development interventions under Global Gateway.

(23) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in its ‘General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment’ sets out a number of standards on adequate protection of jobseekers from third countries against unfair recruitment. Employers should comply with applicable Union law and practice. Equal treatment of jobseekers from third countries with respect to nationals of the participating Member States should also be ensured by the employers in accordance with Directive 2011/9813 , Directive 2014/36/EU14 , Directive 2021/1883/EU15 , and Directive 2016/801/EU16 . In accordance with Directive 2019/1152/EU17 , employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should provide to registered jobseekers from third countries information in writing and in an understandable language on their rights and obligations resulting from the employment relationship at the start of the employment. This information should at least include the place and the type of work, the duration of employment, the remuneration, the working hours, the amount of any paid leave and, where applicable other relevant working conditions. An employer should neither charge any recruitment fee nor prohibit a worker from taking up employment with other employers, outside the work schedule established with that employer, nor subject a worker to adverse treatment for doing so. Employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should comply with Directive 96/71/EC18 as amended by Directive 2018/957 when posting workers in the framework of the provision of services, in particular with regard to the terms and conditions of employment thereby established such as the obligation that third country workers can only be posted to a Member State if they are legally and habitually employed in another Member State.(23) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in its ‘General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment’ sets out a number of standards on adequate protection of jobseekers from third countries against unfair recruitment. The EU Talent Pool should prioritize the protection of migrant workers' rights, ensuring that all recruitment procedures and subsequent employment adhere to international labour standards and EU and national Union law and practice, including the respect of collective bargaining agreements, and fair recruitment practices. Those employers found in violation of these rules should be excluded from the platform. Equal treatment of jobseekers from third countries with respect to nationals of the participating Member States should also be ensured by the employers in accordance with Directive 2011/9813 , Directive 2014/36/EU14 , Directive 2021/1883/EU15 , and Directive 2016/801/EU16 . In accordance with Directive 2019/1152/EU, employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should provide to registered jobseekers from third countries information in writing and in an understandable language on their rights and obligations resulting from the employment relationship at the start of the employment. This information should at least include the habitual place and the type of work, the duration of employment, the remuneration, the working hours, the amount of any paid leave and, where applicable other relevant working and employment conditions. There should be no direct or indirect costs or fees for jobseekers from third countries related to their participation in the EU Talent Pool or their recruitment. An employer should neither charge any recruitment fee or cost of travel, work equipment and accommodation nor prohibit a worker from taking up employment with other employers, outside the work schedule established with that employer, nor subject a worker to adverse treatment for doing so. Employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should comply with Directive 96/71/EC18 as amended by Directive 2018/957 when posting workers in the framework of the provision of services, in particular with regard to the terms and conditions of employment thereby established such as the obligation that third country workers can only be posted to a Member State if they are legally and habitually employed in another Member State. To prevent non-genuine postings, the EU Talent Pool should not be used to facilitate recruitments where workers are hired for the sole purpose of being posted. This requires that employers comply with Directive 2014/67 regarding the genuine nature of the posting in order to prevent abuse and circumvention. An oversight mechanism should be established to monitor the use of the EU Talent Pool, investigate complaints, and ensure that the platform is not used to facilitate exploitative labour practices or undermine workers' rights.

(23) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in its ‘General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment’ sets out a number of standards on adequate protection of jobseekers from third countries against unfair recruitment. Employers should comply with applicable Union law and practice. Equal treatment of jobseekers from third countries with respect to nationals of the participating Member States should also be ensured by the employers in accordance with Directive 2011/9813 , Directive 2014/36/EU14 , Directive 2021/1883/EU15 , and Directive 2016/801/EU16 .

Employers and intermediaries should be required to declare that they uphold fair recruitment according to international labour standards when registering a vacancy. The principle that no workers or jobseekers should pay recruitment fees or related costs should be clearly stated on the platform and in job vacancies. Pro-active monitoring of employers’ compliance should be assured by the National Contact Points in coordination as relevant with social partners.

Justification

The EU Talent Pool should aim at supporting participating Member States to address existing and future skills and labour shortages via the recruitment of third-country nationals only where the activation of the domestic workforce and intra-EU mobility are not sufficient to achieve this objective (see recital 5). Consequently, employers should favour intra-EU mobility before recruiting people from third countries.

(25 a) At present, not all Member States have such lists or have defined a clear methodology for identifying shortage occupations. Furthermore, these lists are not updated with the same rigor and frequency across all Member States. The European Commission should therefore encourage this work through exchanges of best practices to ensure that these lists, whether at the Union level or the national level, reflect the reality of the labor market in the Member States concerned. Additionally, the fact that the development of such lists is not always within the national competence of the Member State must be taken into account.
