CDU calls for the abolition of employment ban in temporary work for third -country nationals

Without debate, the application of the Mittelstands- und Wirtschaftsunion (with) passed, "enabling skilled worker immigration through temporary work from third countries", the vote at the 36th Federal Party Congress of the CDU in Berlin. The Christian Democrats therefore call for the ban on employment in temporary work for third -country nationals. The Residence Act (AufenthG) largely prohibits temporary employment and recruitment companies on recruitment of people from non-EU countries. The Federal Employment Agency is prohibited to agree to the granting of a residence permit to exercise an employment. This prohibition of approval should now be canceled without replacement.

According to the general manager of the overall association of personnel service providers (GVP), Florian Swyter, the association welcomes the increasing insight of the nonsense of this ban. The realization now matures that the German economy is not helped with prohibitions and restrictions on immigration. The FDP has already decided to lift the ban on employment in temporary work for third -country nationals. Now the CDU is also advised and emphasizes that this business model has particularly large expertise in the integration of foreigners. Employment in temporary work must be made possible during labor migration so that the recruitment of foreign workers for companies is facilitated. The GVP demands that the words now also follow acts.

The current legal situation for temporary work states that the employment of non-EU foreign countries is subject to the reservation of consent of the Federal Employment Agency. The authority checks whether obstacles to the foreigner stands in the way of receiving the foreigner on the German labor market. In the event of temporary work, however, the Federal Employment Agency has no room for discretion. If a foreigner from a third country wants to work in Germany and presents an employment contract with a temporary employment agency for the residence permit with an acquisition, he will not receive this residence permit.

The overall association of personnel service providers (GVP) was created in early December 2023 by fusion of the Federal Employers' Association of Human Resources Service providers (BAP) and the interest association of German temporary employment agencies (IGZ). With 5,600 member companies, the association has decades of experience in the advocacy of the industry and is the mouthpiece for personnel service providers in all its diversity.

The discussion about the employment of third -country nationals in temporary work is not new. In recent years, the FDP has also spoken out for the abolition of the ban on employment. The CDU now connects this position and emphasizes the importance of temporary work for the integration of foreigners. Experts agree that qualified immigration to cover the need for skilled workers in Germany is indispensable. The GVP therefore demands that the words of politics now also follow acts and that temporary work for third -country nationals are made possible.

The GVP, which emerged from the fusion of the BAP and the IGZ, represents the interests of the 5,600 member companies in the personnel service industry. With decades of experience, the association is committed to the concerns of the industry.
