Strasbourg, France (CNN) -- A 'jobs wanted' list covering the entire European Union is being proposed by one of its most senior officials.
European Commission President Jose Manuel Durao Barroso raised the idea at his first U.S.-style state of the union speech Wednesday.
He told CNN that a European Vacancy Monitor would allow workers to see all the vacancies across the European Union.
He said the proposal fitted with the rule that any citizen of an EU nation can live and work freely without restrictions in any member state.
But immigration and unemployment are hot button topics in Europe. Most recently immigration hit the spotlight when France deported almost 300 Romanian roma, who living in what France called illegal camps.
