Yes, I think someone enterprising could make money providing clearer information and updates on this topic. I've seen a few sites that propose to help but I have no idea who is behind them and so I won't link to them.<br /><br />Yes, you have put your finger on the weaknesses of this initiative. Every country is responsible for implementing in their own way. Add to this the fact that many of these countries have competing highly-qualified migrant programs which really muddies the waters. I've decided to write a post about these alternatives because I think they might be a better deal for many.<br /><br />Still it is a good initiative, most are complying and if they can get this off the ground it could be the beginning of a real EU-wide approach to migration. Small steps. Slow but sure.<br />VictoriaVictoria FERAUGEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16319699673885400472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2424131704277823220.post-55855176010331649272011-11-21T11:29:53.564+01:002011-11-21T11:29:53.564+01:00Thanks for all the hard work producing this update...Thanks for all the hard work producing this update and prior updates. After reading the links you have provided, it appears to me someone could make good money by creating detailed flowcharts for each country. And when I saw the words "national sovereignty" all the air in the room vanished. Poof! No oxygen left. Translated that means each country will implement their interpretations, financial roadblocks, and cultural differences and I felt no excitement about working in this kind of environment. Skilled workers will be used and discarded like Turks in Germany. If the mindset was to work cooperatively for the benefit of the country, which I did not feel was the overall process, then more people would apply. The mindset is not there and protectionism remains too high. MikeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
