Dutch Modern Migration Policy Act and the he Highly Skilled Migrant Program (interview with Marcel Reurs)

Marcel Reurs, Attorney-at-law, Partner, Everaert Advocaten, one of the oldest and largest independent Dutch immigration law firm's, talks to Connect about the Modern Migration Policy Act & its implications for India expats and highlights the opportunities for Indian businesses in the Netherlands.

Q1. Has the modern migration policy been fully implemented & how will it impact the entry of skilled workers from India into the Netherlands?

The Modern Migration Policy Act has been implemented and will take effect in less than 3 months, on June 1, 2013. It will simplify the immigration procedures for skilled expats. On the other hand, it will place additional responsibilities on employers of highly skilled migrants, in their new capacity of “authorized sponsor”. Employers will need to become fully aware of these responsibilities and must ensure their global mobility policies are compliant. Should they neglect this, then as of June 1, they will be at risk of penalties and, ultimately, having their status as authorized sponsor being revoked, which means they are banned from the Highly Skilled Migrant Program (HSMP) for a period up to 5 years. This means, that they will be disqualified from sponsoring new workers under the HSMP and from continuing the sponsoring of their current HSMP population.

Job description

How safe should donor blood be? - PhD project in public health ethics

Donated blood is screened for infectious agents to protect patients against infection. Such screening measures are effective in reducing risks to a minimum, but the quest for
safety comes at a cost. For example, the incremental cost-effectiveness of specific screening tests can be more than 1,000,000 euro/QALY, which is very high even compared to the most expensive medical treatments. How far should one go in preventing infection risks? This research project analyses this question from an ethical point of view. The project includes (a) clarification and review of the normative assumptions and arguments in current blood screening policies, (b) philosophical analysis of core concepts like precaution, safety, reasonable risk and responsibility, and (c) normative ethical analysis of obligations to maintain and promote blood safety. The study combines philosophical analysis with (focus group) interviews of stakeholders. The goal is to develop a sensible idea of obligatory and reasonable precautions against infection; and to define practical criteria for blood donor screening that are to be recommended to Sanquin.

Requirements

For this PhD research project we seek a graduated (MA level) philosopher/bioethicist with excellent skills in normative and conceptual analysis in practical ethics. The successful candidate will have a good mix of relevant skills and qualities, including:

• curiosity and passion for studying practical philosophical problems, notably in relation to public health
• excellence in academic writing
• good communicative skills, notably capability to discuss ethical issues and arguments with medical professionals and policy makers
• eagerness to work in a multidisciplinary context.

Preferably (s)he has knowledge of ethical discussions about risk and safety, and some experience with interviews and/or focus group studies.

Conditions of employment

• salary and conditions are conform CAO Sanquin;
• a 36-hour-week;
• reimbursement of travel expenses;
• a temporary appointment for a period of 1 year, if successful, will be extended to cover 4 years in total;
• working hours are fixed by mutual agreement;
• 8,33% year-end;
• by full-time employment 201 vacation hours;
• PhD training and supervision according to the regulations of the Netherlands School for Research in Philosophy (Onderzoekschool Wijsbegeerte);
• supervision by professor Hans Zaaijer (Sanquin and University of Amsterdam, Blood-borne Infections) and dr Marcel Verweij (as of May 1st 2013: professor of
• philosophy, Wageningen University);
• excellent conditions for research in public health ethics: lively debate, enthusiastic colleagues with an international focus, and a fruitful work environment at the Chair Group Philosophy at Wageningen University and at Sanquin (Amsterdam);

Contract type: Temporary, 1 year, if successful, will be extended to cover 4 years in total
