(1) The Commission’s Communication of 3 March 2010 entitled ‘Europe 2020: A strategy for smart, sustainable and inclusive growth’30 sets the objective of the Union becoming an economy based on knowledge and innovation, reducing the administrative burden on companies and better matching lab our supply with demand. Measures to facilitate the admission of third-country national highly skilled workers have to be seen in that broader contextAccess to the labour market should therefore be facilitated and encouraged for the more than 20 million people who are unemployed in the European Union. _________________ 30 COM(2010) 2020 final

Recital 20
(20) Member States should reject applications for an EU Blue Card and be allowed to withdraw or refuse to renew an EU Blue Card if there is a threat to public policy, public security or public health. Any rejection on grounds of public policy or public security should be based on the individual behaviour of the person concerned, in accordance with the principle of proportionality. Illness or disability suffered after the third- country national was admitted to the territory of the first Member State should not constitute the sole ground for withdrawing or refusing to renew an EU Blue Card or for not issuing an EU Blue Card in a second Member State.
