(2) Addressing labour shortages requires a comprehensive approachmanagement of data on supply and demand at Union and national level which includes, as a priority, better realising the fullproviding Member States with a platform containing all the data required to realise the 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 occupation if and only if that does not constitute unfair competition to the actors within the relevant sectors. 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 is key to complement those actions and must be part of the solution to fully support the twin transition.

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 or preference for citizens of Member States, should the latter be adopted.
