"During the last year, the population in some new EU States has decreased to an alarming extent, most of all in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia as a result of emigration to the old EU States.
The free movement of persons is one of the fundamental accomplishments of the EU. However, new EU States are painfully losing their most gifted and well-educated people to older and much richer states.
In Lithuania, the education of a student costs on average EUR 7 000 and of a medical student as much as EUR 26 000 and of a pilot EUR 60 000.
Naturally, attracting specialists from the new countries is less expensive and more convenient than training them locally. But this seems more like poorer countries making charitable contributions to prosperous ones. Prohibitions and restrictions will not help. We need to develop a system for the registration of young specialists working permanently in other EU states and establish fair ‘rules of the game’. We need a special fund to alleviate the painful consequences of ‘brain drain’ in the name of solidarity, the essence of the European Union."@en1
