As part of the many events planned for the European Job Days, the EU job service will organise an event in cooperation with Germany and Switzerland on board a ferry on Lake Constance. "Other events will be jointly organised by Austria and Hungary on the Szombathely-Mattersburg train, and by France and Italy on the Sanremo-Nice train". "Many economic industries have problems hiring new staff, especially skilled staff explain the directors of the Days . Therefore, an increasing number of companies are trying to attract workers from other EU countries. But it’s not so easy. Europeans often hesitate before moving abroad, even if they might find a more interesting, better-paid job". A EU-wide survey shows that over 5 million European (2.2% of manpower) "live in a EU country other than their own native country". One of the reasons people are so reluctant to move abroad is "the impact on their family life or the difficulty in learning a new language", as well as the fear not to be able to enjoy adequate welfare services. That’s why the Eures network (which relies on information from 5 thousand local job centres) is "a helpful system to promote professional mobility". ” ” ” “
