Strong partnerships and bilateral cooperation with third countries contribute to effective migration management. Cooperation can be targeted at maximising the positive impact of migration and reducing the negative consequences for third country nationals’ countries of origin, such as the risk of brain drain, for example by facilitating circular migration. The EU Talent Pool should support the implementation of Talent Partnerships, bilateral arrangements and national frameworks on the development and validation of skills in a third country. Talent Partnerships are some of the key aspects of the external dimension of the communication of the Commission of 23 September 2020 on a New Pact on Migration and Asylum and are operationalised in line with the communication of the Commission of 27 April 2022 entitled Attracting skills and talent to the EU. The participation of a Member State in a Talent Partnership, bilateral arrangement or national framework on the development and validation of skills in a third country is without prejudice to its decision whether to participate in the EU Talent Pool.
