lpv:translated text	". Ladies and gentlemen, Mr President, 85% of unskilled immigrants from the developing world live in the European Union and only 5% go the USA, while a mere 5% of highly skilled immigrants arrive in the countries of the old continent, and more than half are snatched up by the US economy. I am delighted that Mrs Gruber’s report seeks, among other things, to halt and reverse this process. I think we must find ways of attracting highly skilled labour, but at the same time we must also prevent the ‘brain drain’ from developing countries. The term ‘highly skilled labour’ should therefore be defined and common criteria for training should be standardised and established within the European Union. This time I do not support the Commission in its application of the principle of ‘the more the merrier’, and I agree that the five directives should merged. Less bureaucracy will also prove more attractive to skilled workers. Prior to drafting the directive(s) I suggest that an initial impact assessment should be carried out that also takes social factors into account. This assessment could help to ensure that by representing the real interests of citizens, the legislation being devised will save the European Union millions of euros. The proposal by Mr Frattini concerning the introduction of packages of legal-entry quotas could, I think, facilitate a reduction of illegal migration within the European Union, but it could also result in more effective control over illegal migration in third countries. Instead of the EU green card proposed in the report, I believe the new blue card scheme is more likely to succeed in achieving what we hope for concerning legal immigration."@en1
