The EU is set to unveil its version of the US Green Card - a Blue Card targeting skilled immigrants.
If approved by EU countries, the card would allow suitably qualified people and their families to live and work in EU countries.
The EU says it needs 20 million skilled immigrants over the next 20 years to fill a shortage of expertise in engineering and computer technology.
The plan is expected to spark controversy and opposition from some countries and critics fear it could encourage a brain-drain from poorer nations.
What do you think of the Blue Card plan? Is it necessary? Will it benefit EU countries and skilled workers from outside Europe? Are you a skilled worker who has moved to another country? Send us your views and experiences.
