Hintze said that they were still working on
the issue of integration, and that they were
also discussing the visa for Turkish minors in
Germany - known as the "baby visa" by its
critics - and that models for the citizenship
of these children were still under discussion.
The German state requires visas for
Turkish children under 16 years old.
German Foreigners' Bureau official
Cornelia Schmalz-Jacobsen disagreed with
the claim that Germany did not need a young,
foreign workforce.
Schmalz-Jacobsen was speaking at a press
conference to promote a booklet released by
her office consisting of useful statistical information
on education as part of a program
.called "Adjustment or Isolation'!" She pointed
but that numerous firms in Germariy had
.noted the educated and dynamic foreign
workforce in Germany, which was increasing
each day.
She accused the German magazine Der
Spiegel, which published a long article on
young Turks living in Germany, of false and
dangerous publication.
Jacobsen also listed false statistics given
by the magazine, and said: "Turkish young-
~
sters with German passports are our
youngsters. We always point out that the citizenship
of these young people should be
facilitated, thus making them our economic
and social treasure. Maybe German citizenship
is not a magic wand, but it can definitely
solve lots of problems for us t}ndsecure their
future."
