对外招募人才却来了一堆妓女

瑞士与欧洲联盟达成引进劳工的协议，原本是希望吸引更多欧盟的优秀专业人才，例如银行员、企业主管、学者等，不料却引来一批始料未及的专业人士：性任务者。* H* Q% o6 B, h

警方估计，自2004年初瑞士开端开放边界、接纳欧盟15个成员国的劳工以来，在苏黎世卖淫的人数已增加三分之一，日内瓦的娼妓人数则增加80%。一些国会议员警告，瑞士去年取消对欧盟十个新成员国居民的任务限制后，到瑞士卖淫人数恐怕只会增加。  W6 R8 h+ |( M/ w1 e* h9 G3 w+ A8 [

瑞士官员声称，新法规有助于刺激经济成长，但反移民团体指责，卖淫人数升高，显示新协议吸引来的不是瑞士需要的高教育水准专业人才。反对开放劳工市场的瑞士人民党扬言，可能寻求在2009年将此协议付诸公民投票。

卖淫在瑞士是合法的，瑞士联合银行（UBS）去年12月公布的研究报告并显示，瑞士居民的购买力世界第一。按瑞士法律，欧盟来的性任务者迁居瑞士的头三个月内，只要向警方登记并遵守税法，即可凭自雇劳工的身分提供服务，不需申请任务批文。

限制少，加上瑞士人有钱，已使苏黎世成为工业国中无处不飞花的春城。负责苏黎世红灯区Langstrasse优化方案的市府官员根据警方提供的数据估计，苏黎世每1,000人就大约可配得11名娼妓，与向来以买春业发达着称的阿姆斯特丹市差不多，都在工业国家中名行前茅。( j9 f$ c9 ~! N0 R

March 5 (Bloomberg) -- Switzerland entered a treaty with the European Union to import workers, seeking more bankers, managers and academics. What it got was an influx of prostitutes.

The number of people offering sex for money has risen by a third in Zurich and 80 percent in Geneva since Switzerland opened its borders to workers from the 15 EU-member states at the start of 2004, police estimate. Some lawmakers predict prostitution will grow even more after the government last year removed work restrictions for residents from 10 newer EU countries as well.csuchen.de' g0 Q: ?

``A lot of families are leaving the neighborhood,'' said Maximilian Kuenzig, 64, who has lived in Zurich's working-class Kreis 4 district his entire life. ``Just yesterday in my building, a young Swiss family with a kid said they would leave. There is noise the whole night.''" ^% [2 i/ p( C4 g) j8 V5 l

While Swiss officials say the new rules are spurring economic growth, anti-immigrant groups argue that the rise in prostitution shows the treaty isn't attracting the educated professionals Switzerland needs. The Swiss People's Party, which opposed opening the labor market and is part of the ruling coalition, says it may seek a referendum on the treaty in 2009.9 H  m6 Q4 ^' f# \, H

Prostitution is legal in Switzerland, and its residents have the world's highest purchasing power, according to a study published in December by UBS AG. Prostitutes from the EU don't need a work permit for the first three months of residence and can offer their services as self-employed workers, provided they register with police and comply with tax laws.

The lack of restrictions, combined with the country's wealth, has pushed the number of prostitutes per capita in Zurich to the highest among industrialized countries, estimated Rolf Vieli, a city employee heading a project for improvement of the Langstrasse area, Zurich's red-light district. Based on police figures, Zurich has about 11 prostitutes per 1,000 people, similar to the rate in Amsterdam, known for its sex trade.

``The neighborhood is degenerating more and more,'' Vieli said at his office at Zurich's police headquarters. ``The process of becoming a slum is accelerating with the increase of prostitution.''

The federal government is looking on the bright side. The accords will boost gross domestic product by as much as 0.5 percent, with half of that generated by the arrival of much- needed professionals, Switzerland's federal offices for migration and economic development said in August.

The number of registered prostitutes in Zurich rose to almost 4,000 at the end of 2005, from 3,000 in 2004, police there said. Police haven't released 2006 figures for Zurich. The number in Geneva increased to about 1,500 at the end of 2006, from 837 in 2004, police said.8 ~7 a: u0 @. @# E6 p- ]; v* g4 @

The influx of sex workers has cut prices for ``quickie'' sexual intercourse to a range of 30 to 80 francs ($24 to $65) from 150 to 250 francs ($122 to $203), said Adrian Klaus, a social worker with Basta, a support group for prostitutes.; U  |& _; X# L; g9 U

The Swiss People's Party is concerned that increasing prostitution may become a serious problem, and the party may collect signatures for a referendum on the treaty, spokesman Reto Jaeggi said.
