Gov't adopts draft amendment to law on foreigners

The Polish government has adopted a draft amendment to the bill on foreigners, aimed at implementing relevant EU directives. The project involves the conditions of entry and residency of non-EU citizens who want to study or train. The Government Information Centre announced that the directive aims to allow highly qualified citizens from third countries, in particular scientists and students, to arrive in the European Union. The directive is also intended to promote the EU as an attractive place for research and innovation.
