Proposal for a regulation

Recital 31

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(31) To achieve the objective of this Regulation, the effective implementation of the EU legal migration acquis should be ensured. In addition, to make the recruitment of jobseekers from third countries residing outside the Union easier and faster for employers, participating Member States may put in place accelerated immigration procedures in particular as regards the obtention of visas and residence permits for work purposes and the exemption from the principle of preference for Union citizens. The implementation of accelerated immigration procedures could be discussed in the context of the EU Talent Pool Steering Group, notably in view of supporting the exchange of best practices among Member States.

(31) To achieve the objective of this Regulation, the effective implementation of the EU legal migration acquis should be ensured. In addition, to avoid any security risks, Member States should conduct the necessary security checks according to national law, including checks on EU databases such as the Schengen Information System.
