| 10 October 2007 On 8 October, the Committee of the Cabinet of Ministers adopted a draft concept on Migration Policy in the Context of Employment prepared by the Ministry of Interior. The concept stipulates the necessity of external labour force influx to Latvia due the shortage of domestic labour force. Whereas, only controlled immigration with introduction of quotas for influx of guest workers in particular regions and areas is allowed, it also seeks to ease administrative procedures and reduction of state fee for attraction of guest workers from non-EU countries.
