Recital 20 c (new)
(20c) The EU should develop a comprehensive and coherent strategy to overcome the likely negative effects of the migration of highly qualified workers in developing countries. This strategy should focus on investing in the training of highly qualified human resources, especially in health and education, and on assisting developing countries to retain highly skilled workers at home. The European Training Foundation has the potential to be active in training human resources in such specific sectors, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Recital 21
(21) Specific reporting provisions should be foreseen to monitor the implementation of the highly qualified scheme, also with a view to identifying and possibly counteracting its possible impacts in terms of brain drain in developing countries, especially in Sub-Saharan Africa. Data on the professions, age, gender and the nationality of highly qualified immigrants admitted by Member States should therefore be transmitted annually by Member States through the network created for these purposes by Council Decision 2006/688/EC of 5 October 2006 on the establishment of a mutual information mechanism concerning Member States' measures in the areas of asylum and immigration.
