here's the director of the federal. data published by the federal migration service a million economic migrants come to russia every year many of them come to the country illegally and. another problem is people coming from. either speak. don't speak. together these factors make their integration into russian society difficult or impossible. but they have. to make up the shortfall in the workforce. thank you for coming to. your first question. immigration and

whether we should try to prevent a regulated. can present a industry developed economies do without. or are migrants absolutely indispensable and then we should take for granted. well it's definitely a fact of life and we can do without migrants use migration needs movement of roles will be large masses of people or smaller groups depending upon the economic demands of the city you can omics move people urging them to travel for jobs migration that the migration is a global phenomenon and we cannot ignore it there is an old russian proverb that says fish move to deeper waters and people move for a better life there's nothing you can do about it and definitely if you put russia's side for a while is it still coming to grips with that and take europe the united states and other advanced economies is the peak of migration already over are these economies saturated with migrant labor or will now gratian rates continue to increase and if

we take france for example same people feel that you can hardly find a true frenchman there anymore or there are still some they're not easy to spot you know i think that sadly the peak of migration is indeed over them why sadly because well migration means new influencers new trends new money new technologies something new that is brought to your country along with the war course the extra hands and the good minds that come over here. unfortunately the current demographic trends worldwide concerns that there isn't a jury show blood in some graphic analysis that we also use it's called the family formula it's an average number of grandparents parents and children per family and . everywhere in the world that formula tends to be four plus two plus one in other words for grandparents two parents and

a single child in this global trend is telling us that everywhere there will be problems whereas in five years time we are unlikely to experience a shortage of holly qualified. officials turn to fifteen years there might be an under supply of low skilled labor not only in russia but globally the year according to the latest world migration report the number of people leaving their hour lead in search of better living is growing despite the economic downturn and tougher migration spotlights he had. never before has the world seen international migration on this larger scale less today every year sets new record for the number of migrants they now account for three percent of the world population the world migration report says over the last ten years the number of migrants increased by more than sixty million the next forty

years are going to see the number of migrants double the credit crunch accompanied by on employment was expected to make for in this return home but that never happened the u.s. with over forty million for in residence is the most popular destination russia is among the top ten this the nations earnings by foreigners account for a massive capital outflow a third of the job is done g.d.p. comes from the money migrants send back home from russia and it's not only way but migration which is growing more and more people have to leave their homes to scape violence the united nations refugee agency reports that the last year more than forty three million people became refugees the highest number in fifteen years this year again says floods of refugees forced out of their homes by revolutions in

northern africa waves of illegal immigrants coming to europe have been described as a human tsunami. we have just watched a report on the current. immigration situation and the recent reaction in europe faced with an inflow of refugees from north africa as a result of the arab revolutions shows that the european public is growing ever less teller instead of immigrants. do you think this could be a backlash to some erratic immigration policies pursued by european governments in the past and if so what were the mistakes or. well actually i do think that there have been some mistakes. i'll do my best to be careful with my judgments but i think that multiculturalism policies are actually good at stressing and

encouraging differences. to put it simply say if you were something to emphasize your ethnic identity or even clothes yes clothes then. that's the basic approach meanwhile i believe you should spend money to erase differences you should have caucus on promoting integration but integration is something meant for those who plan to stay in country for good. i'm sorry to interrupt you but there is an interesting twist you have been spent several decades alone with billions of euros in order to be able to say we had a worse we can be different in still live side by side it is something that the soviet union in many if you will by the way which you are suggesting this approach should be replaced by the american model the sensible one. and the melting pot.

is your but here you must melt into a new society of the future you think this is a more viable option the leaders of france and germany have already acknowledged that multiculturalism is something of a hypo creasy and essentially a mistake that. i don't go for extremes so the notion of a melting pot or anything related to metal casting doesn't really appeal to me as we're talking about people here so i maintain that there is should be case by case approach which it must be more elaborate and sophisticated which but it must be specifically aimed at ending differences which we command disparities and toning down the distinctions that make people feel uneasy about one another and. people should be tolerant and understanding each other. when you much.

teller in is a positive thing however i'm going to say something a bit controversial. when you come to france you can be whatever you want you can be. russian. anything but if you come to britain you're a century told you must be a brit it doesn't matter what color you are but you must be a brit. what approach do you think would be right for russia if french way or the british way then tell you wise i mean a general conceptual approach i realize these are two extremes. in principle i guess i'd go with the british model see the point is to preserve the culture of the host country certainly respect their culture. russia russia. this should be the top priority and there is nothing to be ashamed off. me afraid that somebody might call your nationalist. never mind the labels you think this is

a more viable approach i believe that true lying on your heritage and having faith in your country enhanced as your by tell it see. green forces are nationhood store. nationalists like. my father is convinced that one of the reasons the soviet union imploded was exactly the absence of a melting pot there was no single integral nation while there was plenty of hypocritical propaganda that's each group in the u.s.s.r. has its own culture language territory laws and so on would you agree with that. still i'm rude in general it's rather true than false but i'll be deliberate after all i'm representing the migration service. the federal aviation service is trying to learn some lessons were wising enough to promote we see in the west we

definitely try to learn. those are sometimes complicated lessons but we are speaking up and down for example we have developed a database which so far doesn't have an analogy in a west. it's a database to register foreign nationals in russia we use it to work with online data the number of foreign citizens in russia we know how many of them are in russia and generally what sort of work they do pretty sample at this moment russia is hosting nine point eight million foreigners. that's almost ten million that's right but some say it's just. a difference. listen you're talking to the head of the migration service is someone who works with a database. by the way i demonstrated their system to my european a concert ports and you know it seems to me like the completely understood.

in many cases criticize it. says constantin little more than a ski director of the federal right gratian service of the spotlight will be back shortly after a break so stay with us we'll be back. at the. first cream called clear cut. second explosives are used to blast to go deeper than the fear that. hurt the remainder of machinery. is deposited in vallecito.

on the far. end. the british.

market. find out what's really happening to the global economy. global financial headlines. are reports. welcome back to. the studio. director of the russian federal migration service. mr raymond we were discussing a policy on migrants that our country should adopt in your opinion would you say there is a government policy in support of your notion that migrants should respect the host

culture. but would you say that the government is supporting you. absolutely we are part of the executive branch this is weary implementing government policy this is our main function. there is no doubt about this. and i believe that next year all rafferty's will culminate in a concept for a migration policy. this document. well if you buy it are working to several stages and set specific goals and objectives for each department. so to priorities not just for our service but for society as a whole. our goals law in the areas of demographics and you can omics. what is your current priority. and that would be k'naan excess.

konami goal in a situation all regulated migration that you know it would be wrong to open our borders completely and liberalized all migration. but that would be wrong we believe in regulated migration sure we know that a lot of people just want to come to moscow to stay here and do nothing. but we can't have that they become criminals plain and simple that's right you know i really like you. those officials who recognize a lot of problems that exist in russia and people to tackle them. in one of your interviews that there is. that you admit it is great which you go on to say the d n a phobia is being deliberately. would you tell me who in russia would benefit from fueling ethnic tensions besides extremist politicians with negligible ratings would be its own. you know ethnic tension

can be used again benefits. even political benefits. and some dishonest people can use. i mean people who have certain political ambitions but it's just people who have certain political goals just so you know those are people's you. security services should find them which. i for one have never heard of an openly intelligent person to be elected to the russian parliament sentiment remains at street level and in the press maybe but given that why are some people still trying to edit it. well this just means that we are in tune a good job i don't mean myself but rather my colleagues this means that we are able to prevent

a xeno folks from reaching your goal getting into missy who are infiltrating other agencies this means our efforts are using positive results. the quality and qualification of migrant workers who come to russia have a great impact on people's attitudes toward migrants it's one thing when you have construction workers coming to the country and it's a completely different deal if you attract people keep a bill of advancing culture and science. for a long time people thought of russia is a country that attracted unskilled migrants that federal authorities have been trying to attract better qualified workforce do we see this happening. you know we adopted a new law year ago. actually it's just amendments to the law on foreign citizens legal status and they went into a thirty year ago and we have made

a very good progress that used to we have some quite inspiring statistics. last year and we often are registered three thousand people in the last six months of twenty sand the figure for the first six months of this year will be six thousand people bigger permissions to work here for three years not a month not six months three years you're talking about work permits. yes it's just three year work permit that will allow them to work anywhere in russia they will be able to get a residence permit. they will get certain tax benefits it will be easier for their families to come to russia we shoot over a two thousand family invitations in the past year alone. so nine thousand experts plus two thousand family members makes eleven thousand people who are working to invents our economy and they represent an intellectual force

currently a large share of the experts we host about twenty percent are employed in trade with. well i suppose we're learning to trade in other words they're businessmen correct here's what i find interesting you're saying the share of skilled migrants in russia is increasing there it's a point to you and migration both of which seem reasonable the first one maintains that migrants are necessary to do the dirty work that local residents don't want to do that the second one claims that migrants come to steal their jobs and skilled migrants come to sweep the streets something the muscovites just won't do. migrants and then they come to take our bread from us which of these. two opinions is the correct one or are they both right. they're both right there's one in both kinds of migrants so one thing that's important is that those who come to sweep streets should know which to treat when they're going to sweep what we want to ward is

flocks of unskilled migrants standing around in places like construction markets wordier slow highway as it is organized tonsil killed labor force for hire. and when there are no more streets for them to sweep they turn to crime understandable they have to eat too. that's right but. migration processes should be regulated. controlled migration has replaced chaotic migration to d. what we have to do now is just switch to migration that's efficiently regulated it's going. to cause one of your interviews you said the existing make ration quota principle is inefficient and we have to abandon it and of quotes what would you have that system replaced with companies for jobs will the russians have to try even harder to find a decent job they have those quotas they repealed. he said yeah you know what i'm

talking about something different. brushes small and medium businesses have no way of the officially attracting workers today. we understand that small and medium businesses are one of the things that drive our economy this means we have to help our businesses and we can do that while these restrictions remain in place with these restrictions a person has to know what kind of labor his business will need nine months in advance that's just impossible. so let's face it we're in favor of controlling labor migration in russia while at the same time i have. just say the rules we impose. they have to be very simple understandable and proper civil. so there is a lot of talk about introducing five year end she visas to that does this have

anything to do with their three year work permits that you have mentioned. no you must be referring to a visa regime with e.u. countries. and this has to do you we believe these are pretty regime that we are currently negotiating with the e.u. with we're working together with our foreign ministry on this issue and of course it's mainly to foreign ministry that is in charge of these negotiations. so we are currently. working on the readmission agreement so there russia e.u. dialogue has been launched and this allows us to resolve issues related to. the visa free regime and labor migration and. this fear is very promising and we have actually made during good progress on those issues.

do you believe that he's a free rejean with the european union it's possible personal or do. another practice that foreigners who is eight in russia would like to see abandoned is it registration today they have to notify the migration agency and get registered every time they move will this procedure ever be abolished or simplified. yes i know what you're talking about in we have actually already made some steps toward states it's no longer a foreign nationals responsibility to get registered it's his employer's responsibility to get him registered with the migration service. so we have simplified these and some other thing. so we are making progress and i think that this process is very much related to our dialogue with the european union on a visa free regime i think we should all trust each other and i think you should we

should all try to bring our positions closer together but i think time that i will thank you very much for being with us in just a reminder that my guest was constantin that i love that the ski director of the federal migration. spotlight will be back with more for some comments out of what's going on in. our team and to.

twenty years ago in the largest country. disintegrates it. must have been. each began a journey. where did it take them. down the official.
