In several new brochures put out by Vlaams Belang, the party is allowing for possible immigration from outside the EU.
A brochure titled "Aging and the job market" says: "Of course we want to uphold the migration freeze of 1974, but it is possible that non-EU citizens will fill in 'bottleneck vacancies' on the long term". Such vacancies are defined as jobs for which no other worker could be found, either because the working conditions are unfavorable and do not attract Flemish unemployed, or because there are no qualified natives.
The brochure goes on to demand testing of the language as well as knowledge of Flemish norms before the application is considered.
The brochure goes on to say that "people with a criminal record or political extremism are not welcome." A note taken to be directed at Muslims.
