The government is planning to institute "integration contracts" for immigrants to encourage them to become contributing members of the country's society, Germany's integration commissioner announced on Monday.
The new contract, a goal for the current legislative period, will elaborate on what kind of support immigrants can expect from Germany, in addition to "what we expect from the immigrants," Maria Böhmer told daily Stuttgarter Nachrichten.
"All who want to live and work here for the long run must say yes to our country," she continued. "To this belongs proficiency in the German language, but also a readiness to take part in society."
