The work programme sets out focused actions for 2015. 

Annex I sets outsets 23 initiatives the Commission is politically committed to delivering in 2015. This twelve-month 'to do list' focuses on the ‘big things’ like jobs, growth and investment, in line with the ten priorities of President Juncker’s Political Guidelines.

According to initiative n°18, the objective is to develop a new approach on legal migration to make the EU an attractive destination for talents and skills, as well as to improve the management of migration by intensifying cooperation with third countries, fostering burden sharing and solidarity and fighting against irregular migration and smuggling. The agenda includes the review of the Blue Card Directive, the EU-wide work permit for highly skilled workers.
