Decrease, and the government should provide more incentives to prepare our citizens for these jobs

The EPP strongly supports initiatives that improve the skill set of the EU's citizens, including education and vocational training programs. Decreasing reliance on high-skilled immigrant workers by investing in the domestic workforce aligns with the party's broader goals of social market economy and could be seen as a way to enhance long-term economic sustainability.

Increase

Decrease, companies are currently taking advantage of this program to decrease wages

While the EPP is concerned about fair wages and working conditions, it also values the contributions of businesses to the economy. The party might be cautious about claims that companies are taking advantage of the program without clear evidence, preferring to address specific abuses rather than decrease visas broadly.

Disagree

Decrease

However, they might support moderate adjustments to ensure that immigration levels are sustainable and beneficial to the EU's economy as a whole.

Disagree

Increase, our economy relies on businesses hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost

Although the EPP supports policies that enhance economic competitiveness, the party also emphasizes the importance of social cohesion and fair working conditions. A policy focused solely on hiring the highest skilled workers at the lowest cost might conflict with the EPP's broader social and economic principles, suggesting a disagreement with this approach.
