"Question no 38 by Justas Vincas Paleckis ()
Internal borders and barriers in the EU are being removed and will have disappeared completely after a few years. Ever closer integration between new and old EU Member States is giving rise to a ‘brain drain’ – an exodus of minds and of qualified workers – that is steadily gathering pace. The new Member States are losing many of their most dynamic citizens, who obtained a good education and qualifications in their native countries, to the considerably wealthier old Member States. The EU would appear to be giving the new Member States support with one, visible hand, in the form of various funds, while taking it away with another, invisible hand by attracting its young specialists.
I believe that a solution to this problem would be to create a special EU fund to lessen the impact of the brain drain (following the example of the globalisation fund). Countries receiving qualified specialists would have to contribute most to this fund. The resources collected could be used to improve the education systems of the countries adversely affected by this phenomenon and to create new jobs in those countries.
What is the Commission’s view of this or similar suggestions? Does the Commission agree that what is essentially a positive process – the creation of a single labour market – is at the same time causing a serious problem in the form of a brain drain, which needs to be resolved by joint EU efforts as well as by the efforts of all 25 Member States?"@en1
