This is a huge setback for everyone that hoped Europe would finally understand the necessity to update its migration laws and become more attractive for international talent... the Council was not willing to accept any of the substantial improvements that the European Commission proposed.
But I think the real tragedy lies outside this house... for the thousands of businesses and start-ups that hoped that there would be easier procedures and less waiting times and who have been deprived of the chance to make Europe more competitive.
