A legal labour migration regime?

The EU's 2005 policy plan on legal migration foresees five different pieces of legislation. In addition to the proposed directives on seasonal workers and intra-corporate transferees, these concern:

An EU-wide work permit (‘blue card') for highly skilled workers, adopted in May 2009, which has to be transposed into domestic law by June;

A single, EU-wide work and residence permit for non-EU nationals. Parliament last month adopted its version of a draft directive which now requires the backing of the member states;

And rules for remunerated trainees from outside the EU (no legislation proposed yet).
