You can't be pro-European and anti-EU. That is axiomatic.
But you're not even 'pro-European' - you believe in British Empire Part II.

"As ASEAN Works to Foster Mobility of Highly Skilled in Region, Review of Mutual Recognition Arrangements Suggests Ways to Maximize Potential"
WASHINGTON — Seeking to encourage the flow of skilled professionals among Member States, the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) signed agreements over nearly a decade meant to speed the mutual recognition of professional and academic qualifications in a number of occupations.
These mutual recognition arrangements (MRAs), which set standardized rules across Member States for recognition of credentials and limit or eliminate national discretion to assess foreign qualifications — and thus reduce roadblocks to the movement and employment of professionals across the region — span the tourism sector and six regulated occupations (accountancy, architecture, dentistry, engineering, medicine and nursing). Though the agreements share nearly identical objectives, a new Migration Policy Institute (MPI) and Asian Development Bank (ADB) report explores the significant divergence of these MRAs in terms of institutional structures, requirements and procedures...
...The MRAs range from the open framework in the tourism sector, which provides a fully automatic recognition process, to the virtually closed, destination country-led frameworks in the dental, medical and nursing professions, which offer minimal opportunity for recognition.
“The greatest achievement of the ASEAN MRAs so far is rather indirect: The signing of these agreements has inspired a significant capacity-building effort in the less-advanced ASEAN Member States to upgrade professional regulation and training standards,” said MPI Senior Policy Analyst Dovelyn Rannveig Mendoza, the report’s lead author.
Implementation of the MRAs in engineering and architecture has driven the creation of regulatory bodies and the adoption of new professional standards in Cambodia, Lao PDR and Myanmar. Similarly, the MRA-driven harmonization of training requirements in nursing is promoting higher qualifications standards in countries such as Vietnam.
Among the areas to further maximize the benefits of MRAs, the report notes the potential to link the MRAs with existing mobility arrangements in the region and to create synergy with the ASEAN Qualification Regional Framework and apply the lessons learned to the negotiations of future MRAs.
This article points out that demographic pressures drive emigration:

So who migrates in Asia, and how do they do it? International migration data is generally poor, but it is possible to make some generalisations about the trends. First, women are increasingly active migrants — in several important flows they constitute the majority. Second, the ‘migration industry’ — made up of agents, travel providers, government officials and middlemen of various types — is growing rapidly. Third, the government is increasingly important in influencing both immigration and emigration. And fourth, there may now be as many undocumented migrants as those who entered foreign countries through authorised channels.
In the past two decades, many ordinary people in Asia, not just the elite, have come to consider whether moving overseas will improve their quality of life. Many people are also moving further away from their homes: there has been a significant increase not only in the movement between Asia-Pacific nations but also out of and in to the region. Asia’s migration is forced and unforced, documented and undocumented, permanent and non-permanent, work-related and not work-related.
Arguably the most important reason for this migration boom is the growing demographic differences between countries. The Asia Pacific contains both high-income and low-income economies and their demographic trajectories have differed. On the one hand, high-income economies are experiencing low (and, in a few cases, negative) natural increases in population because of an extended period of low fertility. This is leading to slow natural growth. Eventually, the number of people of working age is projected to decline — Japan is already experiencing this phenomenon. On the other hand, in low-income economies of the region, fertility decline has been more recent, although it has also been dramatic. Prolonged periods of very low fertility leads to a decline in the size and ageing of the workforce which can drive migration.
There is lots of movement of unskilled labour among ASEAN states, and increased emigration of both unskilled and skilled labour is inevitable. It will be the next nettle that ASEAN grasps, and it will be grasped - the arrival of Donald Trump and his protectionist regime have shown ASEAN how important it is to work together towards ever-increasing integration on all levels.
This is a lesson apparently lost on Leave voters in the UK, but not on French voters who decided not to cast their lot with the anti-EU Marine LePen who got her arse handed to her on a plate, and Netherlands voters who decided not to vote for that anti-EU Dutch loser, Whatshisface. I've forgotten his name - he is history now.
