SHORT JUSTIFICATION
The Rapporteur considers that the Commission proposal for a Talent Pool should be welcomed, as it could complement the Union’s other efforts to engage with non-EU country partners strategically on migration management and accelerate progress to achieving several Sustainable Development Goals, in particular SDG 8 to promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all and SDG 10 on reduced inequalities. The proposal is in line with the objectives of the Regulation (EU) 2021/947 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 June 2021 establishing the Neighbourhood, Development and International Cooperation Instrument – Global Europe (NDICI-GE Regulation) including the provisions laid down in Recitals 50 and 51, and previous positions of the Committee on Development, e.g., that well-designed and well-managed legal migration policies can be a source of innovation and economic development, beneficial for both countries of origin and host countries. The Talent Pool can help the EU and its Member States to fill skills gaps in EU-wide shortage occupations, broaden employers’ access to a diverse array of skills and talents, and create mutual gains for the EU and third country partners. The Talent Pool adds value to emerging Talent Partnerships and could enhance engagement from Member States, which is needed to fully unlock the potential of these partnerships, creating win-win situations for all partners involved.
The EU Talent Pool will be the first EU-wide platform aimed at facilitating international recruitment and providing opportunities for jobseekers from third countries that are interested and have the skills required to work in EU-wide shortage occupations. The initiative is voluntary, thus leaving the Member States a choice to join it or not. It is assumed that between 11 and 20 Member States will join by 2030, with further Member States joining afterwards.
The Rapporteur acknowledges that the Talent Pool regulation can address only some of the obstacles to exploiting the potential of mutually beneficial labour migration between the EU and developing countries. It is only one piece in a wider set of legislative and policy measures at EU and Member State level required to make labour migration successful, such as those for enabling recognition of qualifications and validation of skills and for facilitating legal migrants’ inclusion and integration into society. The Talent Pool builds on and complements development cooperation programmes that enhance the development of skills and competences, education and vocational training and are financed through the NDICI-GE Instrument. The Rapporteur considers that, where relevant, information on opportunities for the development of skills and competences, as well as education and vocational training provided through development cooperation programmes should be available to jobseekers participating in the EU Talent Pool.
The Rapporteur stresses that the EU Talent Pool IT platform must be simple to navigate in practice. Eligibility and selection criteria should be transparent, non-discriminatory and allow for the admissibility of jobseekers with all skill levels. Jobseekers from third countries wishing to register in the Talent Pool should have easy access to information on how to create a profile. It should be easy for jobseekers to know what jobs they are eligible for and for employers to recognise foreign credentials. Information should be written in an understandable language, including preferably the official languages of the countries participating in a Talent Partnership.
The Rapporteur considers that the Talent Pool is in line with the general principle of the NDICI-GE Regulation to pursue a more coordinated, holistic and structured approach to migration with partners. Furthermore, the Rapporteur welcomes that the EU Talent Pool should contribute to the objective of discouraging irregular migration, including by facilitating access to existing legal pathways, which complements development cooperation programmes that address the root causes of migration and forced displacement. The Rapporteur considers it important that jobseekers participating in the EU Talent Pool should also have easy access to information on relevant procedures following the selection process, as well as information on assistance available to migrants wishing to return to their home countries, including on support for reintegration in the context of Talent Partnerships with developing countries.
The rapporteur believes that the Talent Pool must comply with the principle of Policy Coherence for Development, as stipulated in Article 208 TFEU, fully exploiting the synergies with EU’s development cooperation. When reviewing the implementation of the Talent Pool, the Commission should therefore take into account the impact of the Regulation on the objectives of EU development cooperation.
