Amendments (48)
Amendment 17 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 1
Recital 1
(1) The Union and individual Member States are facing shortages in a wide range of sectors and occupations, including in those relevant for the green and digital transitions. Extensive shortages in construction, healthcare, hospitality, transport, information and communications technology and in science technology, engineering and mathematics, are long- standing and have been exacerbated by the COVID-19 pandemic and the acceleration of the green and, digital and social transitions. Labour shortages are expected to persist and potentially aggravate in the light of demographic challenges.

Recital 1 c (new)
(1c) The EU Talent Pool should promote skills-based migration that relies on genuine partnerships and contributes to sustainable development for all. Thus, the perspective of participating third countries should be taken into consideration, particularly as regards potential consequences on brain-drain which can lead to third countries losing the human capital they economically invested in; as well as possible consequences on family disintegration that could contribute to the 'left-behind' children phenomenon and the loss of care resources, therefore possibly worsening the care-drain.
Amendment 23 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 2
Recital 2
(2) Addressing labour shortages requires a comprehensive approach at Union and national level which includes, as a priority, better realising the full potential of groups with lower labour market participation, reskilling and upskilling the existing workforce, facilitating intra-EU labour mobility, as well as improving working conditions and the attractiveness of certain occupations. Due to the current scale of the labour market shortages and the demographic trends, measures targeting the domestic and Union workforce alone are likely to be insufficient to address existing and future labour and skills shortages. Therefore, legal migration through regular channels is key to complement those actions and must be part of the solution to fully support the twinriple transition.
Amendment 28 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 5
Recital 5
(5) The EU Talent Pool should aim at supporting participating Member States to address existing and future skills and labour shortages via the recruitment of third country nationals to the extent the activation of the domestic workforce and intra-EU mobility are not sufficient to achieve this objective. As a voluntary tool to facilitate international recruitment, that should become compulsory with time, the EU Talent Pool should offer additional support at Union level to interested Member States. To this end, complementarity and interoperability with existing national initiatives and platforms should be ensured. Member States’ specific needs should be taken into account in the development of the EU Talent Pool in order to ensure the widest participation possible. Hence, ‘Talent’ is an encompassing term referring to the entire range of skills that might be needed by the Member States’ labour markets. Third country skills shortages should also be taken into account when defining the occupations for facilitating international recruitment so as not to aggravate brain- drain in critical sectors.
Amendment 31 #

Recital 6
(6) The EU Talent Pool aims at providing services to employers that are established in the participating Member States, including private employment agencies, temporary work agencies and labour market intermediaries as defined by the International Labour Organisation Convention 181 from 1997, as well as facilitating the participation of micro, small and medium-sized enterprises.
Amendment 37 #

Recital 10
Recital 10
(10) Synergies should be ensured, where appropriate, between the EU Talent Pool IT platform and other relevant instruments and services at Union level, including with regard to access to training materials such as the EU Academy and the Interoperable Europe Academy. Synergies should also be ensured with EU-funded education programmes in developing countries, such as the Global Partnership for Education, Education Cannot Wait and the Erasmus+ programme. The EU Talent Pool IT platform should be quickly and regularly adapted to new practices in technology and provide state-of-the-art IT services by introducing innovative features and tools.

Recital 16
Recital 16
(16) The EU Talent Pool should contribute to the objective of discouraging irregular migration including by facilitating access to existing legal pathways, as well as boosting international mobility, skills development, contributing to human capital development by promoting decent work and social inclusion. Jobseekers from third countries who are subject to a judicial or administrative decision refusing the entry or stay in a Member State or an entry ban in accordance with Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council11 , should not be allowed to register their profiles in the EU Talent Pool IT platform, given that they will not be permitted to enter and stay in the Union. To this end, jobseekers from third countries should be required, before registering their profiles in the EU Talent Pool, to declare that they are not currently subject to a refusal of entry or stay in a Member State or an entry ban to the territory of the Union. Information should also be provided on the consequences for making a false declaration in this respect. __________________ 11 Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals (OJ L 348, 24.12.2008, p. 98, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2008/115/oj).

Recital 18
Recital 18
(18) Where necessary, the recognition of qualifications and validation of skills of registered jobseekers from third countries should be conducted in the participating Member States upon request of the jobseeker or the employer in accordance with the national law and practices, and with any relevant international agreements, including Mutual Recognition Arrangements for professional qualifications. It should be considered that the process of recognition of qualifications and validation of skills varies between Member States, and that the participating Member States with less effective practices may take longer to process the information of registered jobseekers, which may negatively affect the functioning of the EU Talent Pool in some Member States. Therefore, the EU Talent Pool should serve as a tool to promote a smoother recognition of qualifications and validation of skills in the participating Member States. Personalised assistance and online information on existing recognition and validation procedures at national level should be available in the EU Talent Pool IT platform and it should be provided by the EU Talent Pool National Contact Points.
Amendment 47 #

Recital 19
Recital 19
(19) In the context of Talent Partnerships, nationals of selected third countries receive support for the development and validation of skills in a framework endorsed by Member States taking part in a Talent Partnership and partner countries. The selection of participating third countries in the Talent Partnerships should be fully transparent, with precise information on the functioning and outcome of the selection process. Therefore, the skills developed or validated in the framework of a Talent Partnership should be certified by the ‘EU Talent Partnership pass’ which is visible in the context of the EU Talent Pool. Employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should be able to filter the profiles of registered jobseekers from third countries as to visualise those having obtained an ‘EU Talent Partnership pass’. This could encourage employers to offer a job placement in the Union. Member States, in the framework of a Talent Partnership, should determine the conditions for the issuing of the ‘EU Talent Partnership pass’ for the purpose of the EU Talent Pool, including whether a partner country’s national authority, an international organisation or other stakeholder should support its deliver. The issuing of a ‘EU Talent Partnership pass’ is without prejudice to European and national rules on access to regulated professions.

(23) The International Labour Organisation (ILO) in its ‘General principles and operational guidelines for fair recruitment’ sets out a number of standards on adequate protection of jobseekers from third countries against unfair recruitmentlawful recruitment, and, in particular, reiterates the principle that no recruitment fees or costs should be paid by workers or jobseekers. Employers should comply with applicable Union law and practice. Equal treatment of jobseekers from third countries with respect to nationals of the participating Member States should also be ensured by the employers in accordance with Directive 2011/9813 , Directive 2014/36/EU14 , Directive 2021/1883/EU15 , and Directive 2016/801/EU16 .and Directive 2000/78/EC16b In accordance with Directive 2019/1152/EU17 , employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should provide to registered jobseekers from third countries information in writing and in an understandable language (including in the official languages of third countries participating in the Talent Partnerships) on their rights and obligations resulting from the employment relationship at the start of the employment. This information should at least include the place and the type of work, the duration of employment, the remuneration, the working hours, the amount of any paid leave and, where applicable other relevant working conditions. An employer should neither charge any recruitment fee nor prohibit a worker from taking up employment with other employers, outside the work schedule established with that employer, nor subject a worker to adverse treatment for doing so. Employers participating in the EU Talent Pool should comply with Directive 96/71/EC18 as amended by Directive 2018/957 when posting workers in the framework of the provision of services, in particular with regard to the terms and conditions of employment thereby established such as the obligation that third country workers can only be posted to a Member State if they are legally and habitually employed in another Member State. Employers should be required to declare that they uphold fair recruitment according to international labour standards when registering a vacancy. The principle that no workers or jobseekers should pay recruitment fees or related costs should be clearly stated in the platform and on job vacancies. Pro- active monitoring of employers’ compliance should be assured by the National Contact Points in coordination with social partners as relevant. __________________ 13 Directive 2011/98/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 13 December 2011 on a single application procedure for a single permit for third- country nationals to reside and work in the territory of a Member State and on a common set of rights for third-country workers legally residing in a Member State (OJ L 343, 23.12.2011, p. 1–9, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2011/98/oj). 14 Directive 2014/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 26 February 2014 on the conditions of entry and stay of third-country nationals for the purpose of employment as seasonal workers OJ L 94, 28.3.2014, p. 375, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2014/36/oj). 15 Directive (EU) 2021/1883 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 October 2021 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purpose of highly qualified employment, and repealing Council Directive 2009/50/EC, OJ L 382, 28.10.2021, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2021/1883/oj). 16 Directive (EU) 2016/801 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 11 May 2016 on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, training, voluntary service, pupil exchange schemes or educational projects and au pairing (recast) (OJ L 132, 21.5.2016, p. 21, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2016/801/oj). 16b Directive 2000/78/EC of the Council of 27 November 2000 establishing a general framework for equal treatment in employment and occupation (OJ L 303, 2.12.2000, p. 16–22, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2000/78/oj). 17 Directive (EU) 2019/1152 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 June 2019 on transparent and predictable working conditions in the European Union (OJ L 186, 11.7.2019, p. 105, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/2019/1152/oj). 18 Directive 96/71/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 1996 concerning the posting of workers in the framework of the provision of services (OJ L 18, 21.1.1997, p. 1, ELI: http://data.europa.eu/eli/dir/1996/71/oj).

(25) The EU Talent Pool platform should meet established needs on the labour market, while promoting employment stability and combating precarity, and should not serve as a means to displace or negatively affect the existing workforce or otherwise undermine decent work or fair competition. To better support Member States’ efforts in addressing existing and future labour shortages, the EU Talent Pool should target specific occupations at all skills levels, based on the most common shortage occupations in the Union while taking into account the possible risk of brain-drain and care- drain from developing countries and on the occupations with a direct contribution to the green and digital transitions, set out in the Annex to this Regulation. In order to adapt the job vacancies to the specific needs of the national labour markets and taking as a starting point the list of EU- wide shortage occupations set out in the Annex, participating Member States shall be allowed to notify to the EU Talent Pool Secretariat the addition or removal of specific shortage occupations. Such notifications should only impact the matches for job vacancies submitted by the respective Member State. Neither the list of EU-wide shortage occupations nor the Member States’ notifications should affect the principle of preference for Union citizens.
