Response to Single permit for third-country nationals to reside and work in the EU

6 May 2022

Curtis Instruments GmbH welcome the opportunity to provide feed back to the commission on single work and residence permits. As the EU competes in an increasing globalized market, so we have a need non-EU workers to join us for work experience, long term projects, mid-term assignments and potential future permanent status. We need their knowledge and expertise especially in new technology, and highly complex subjects. The fractured nature of national residence permits requirements requires localised expertise and cost. This is a deterrent to companies and employees (and their families) from starting to look for work-place transitional opportunities in the EU. It is important to include potential employees and their families as the EU must be an attractive place to work. The Commission and Parliament should develop policies/legislation that encourages our neighbours and international work colleagues to join us at this time when recruiting EU skilled people is very challenging and our future population of EU working age men and women is in decline. I would encourage the Commission to take a very different perspective to Australia; their points base system includes age, health, educational status and financial independence. A commercial enterprise can have mature non-academic time-served expertise and employees with key experiences that might not fit an Australian model, but still serve as anchors/foundational blocks within commercial organisations. EU commercial organisations need to be able to select and offer work opportunities as they deem necessary to meet their commercial needs and should not be restricted based on idealistic or political whims. It is the financial and lost-time cost to the EU commercial companies that will help ensure the right people are selected. In summary: We support a simplified, cost effective and employer friendly system of single work and residence permits, and extend this to include employee's families, as/when required by commercial organisations across the EU.
