".
I am grateful for the gracious words of Mr Karim, the questioner, and I hope his faith in my performance will be vindicated in the minutes to come. On the more general question that he raises, as we meet today in this Parliament, the European Union Summit with India is taking place. The Indian subcontinent is one place where skilled migrant labour is already proving to be of mutual benefit.
I have had the opportunity to travel to Bangalore and meet many of the service providers who are benefiting from the present proposals. I heard directly from the Indians that they considered there was genuine mutual benefit in having their employees working for a period either in the European Union or in North America. In Silicon Valley, for example, highly-skilled software engineers educated either in the United States or in India were able to gain experience in the United States and then either stay and continue to develop commercial contacts between the United States and India or return to India and establish businesses, which in turn do business with developed countries such as the United States. So I can assure you this is a far wider issue than simply the answer I provided on mode 4.
It is a matter about which there is much discussion, not least on the close commercial ties that can be established between less-developed countries and the European Union. I am optimistic that there can be genuine mutual benefit both for the countries providing the workers and for the European Union, which benefits from their skills and expertise."@en1
