"We have voted in favour of Amendment 8. In general our views are very far away from the group which tabled it, especially in the case of refugees, immigrants and ethnic or religious minorities. ITS tries to block the admission of refugees who are in danger, and, on the contrary, we try to help those victims of suppression, catastrophes, and poverty. So we understand very well that the majority in our group doesn't like to support ITS amendments on migration. Unlike the situation of refugees and traditional forms of immigration, in the case of the proposed attraction of highly skilled workers the EU Member States are creating a problem for their countries of origin. People who are skilled in countries like India, South Africa or Brazil are highly needed there for the necessary development. We now see that such problems are even arising inside the newest EU Member States, Romania and Bulgaria, who are losing their medical and engineering people at a rapid rate to more wealthy countries. Privileged countries and companies are stealing the brains of those people. As we don't want to support this brain drain, we voted in favour of this amendment."@en1
