Berlin ¡ª Germany will allow entry 20,000 foreign high-tech workers, under a plan announced on May 31st. Chancellor(×ÜÀí) Gerhard Schroreder sees this as a way to keep the country from falling behind in information technology.

The plan for this so-called ¡®green cards¡¯, not like the US work permit system, came in answer to industry demands that there were not enough qualified workers to fill positions.

Workers who came to Germany under the new rules, effective from August will be given a five-year work permit after proving they have completed studies in a related field or can promise to at least 100,000 marks (US$48 000).

Family members are also allowed, though they too will receive work permits. ¡°They are strong competition in the rest of the world for these people,¡± Schroreder said mentioning not only the United States but also British and France. Germany would be making a mistake if it didn¡¯t take part in this competition.

He said employers have already offered 11,000 jobs through a ¡°green card hotline¡± and some 4,700 applications emailed information requests.

The Chancellor also said the number of workers and the time limits of their stay may be extended, possibly under current German law. Allowing the workers to stay longer means they could finally become citizens. Since the beginning of this year, foreigners who have lived in the country for eight years can ask for being naturalized.
