'One of the main barriers to immigration and absorption is the process of recognizing the professional licenses of immigrants and returning residents'
i24News reports that Israeli lawmaker Dan Illouz, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud bloc, recently submitted a bill seeking to ease the process of immigrant absorption by recognizing medical professional licenses based on European Union regulations.
The guidelines of the automatic recognition mechanism encompass 28 EU countries, home to some 500 million people. It has been operating successfully in Europe for over a decade, has fulfilled its purpose, and brought with it economic and social benefits.
"Immigrating to the State of Israel is a Zionist value of the highest order, and the State of Israel must ensure a comfortable and gentle reception for every Jew who chooses to immigrate to the land of his ancestors,” said Illouz.
