Newsletter Evropského integračního portálu - č. 83

Níže naleznete červnový newsletter Evropského integračního portálu. Z jeho obsahu bychom vás rádi upozornili na následující informace:

Evropská komise představila návrh novely Směrnice o Modrých kartách

Cílem novely je usnadnění integrace držitelů Modrých karet, tedy vysoce kvalifikovaných migrantů ze třetích zemí, v Evropě. Návrh počítá s okamžitým nárokem na sloučení rodin či se zkrácením lhůty pro žádost o  trvalý pobyt v členských zemích EU. O Modré karty si nově budou moci žádat také držitelé mezinárodní ochrany.

Evropský parlament odhlasoval usnesení o integraci uprchlíků

Evropský parlament schválil 5. června nezávazné usnesení /Sociální začlenění a uplatnění na pracovním trhu/ o prohloubení integrace uprchlíků. Usnesení konstatuje, že pomalá azylová řízení a relativně krátká doba, na niž jsou pobytová oprávnění udělována, blokuje přístup azylantů ke vzdělání a na trh práce. Rezoluce rovněž odmítá myšlenku zaměstnávat uprchlíky za mzdu nižší, než je stanovená minimální mzda dané země, a akcentuje zajištění rovného přístupu uprchlíků ke vzdělání, bydlení a na pracovní trh. Klíčové závěry usnesení najdete zde.
