Europe are available for emigra-

only small portion of this
group can be absorbed within

overseas emigration an essential
solution to the problem" the
agency said.
While some countries have labor
shortages, there are large pools
of unemployment in others-par-

to the surplus.
"The labor surplus cannot be
