EU Blue Card: a promising tool among labour migration policies? A comparative analysis of selected countries

  • Abstract In 2007 the Commission proposed a Directive aimed exclusively at third-country nationals moving to Europe for the purpose of highly qualified employment that would set up a harmonized entry procedure, lay down common residence conditions and facilitate mobility through Europe. The Directive, named Blue Card, was meant to make Europe more attractive for highly qualified migrants by offering a fast--‐track entry procedure and social benefits in the EU. The Commission, despite the reluctance of Member States, managed to push through the Directive, which was finally approved in 2009. In the first three years since the Blue Card first entered into force in the majority of Member States in 2012, no more than 30,352 cards have been issued, of which about 26,200 by a single Member State. Why? A detailed analysis of the conditions set by the Directive and of the context in which it operates, as well as a comparison with the national labour migration schemes - in particular in Germany, Sweden and the Netherlands - with which it is in competition is provided in this thesis.
