She insisted the countries had signed up "not
because we’re following requirements from Brussels but voluntarily
because the benefits are obvious and because it’s in Europe’s security
interests".
She wrote in German newspaper
Handelsblat :
"We are making good progress. Despite Brexit, and the controversial
debates us Europeans have among ourselves, Europe remains a unique
creation, uniting half a billion citizens in the name of freedom and
prosperity.
And it is now said to be considering bringing in nationals from other European countries to bridge the gap.
Some 255,000 Poles, 185,000 Italians and 155,000 Romanians, aged
between 18 and 40, live in Germany, magazine Der Spiegel said, citing a
government document.
If just 10 per cent of them could be tempted to sign up, that could generate 50,000 new applicants, it said.
