The Global Approach to Migration
  • To formulate comprehensive and coherent policies
    that address the broad range of migration-related
    issues, bringing together justice and home
    affairs, development and external relations so as
    to enhance dialogue and cooperation on migration
    in partnership with third countries.

5
Political dialogue with Africa
  • National level EU migration missions
  • Regional level Rabat conference on migration
    and development (2006), Paris conference (2008)
  • Continental level Tripoli Africa-EU conference
    on migration (2006) EU-Africa Partnership on
    Migration, Mobility and Employment (2007)

EU-Africa Partnership on Migration, Mobility and
Employment
  • Reflects shift in European thinking on African
    migration
  • Establishes robust framework for
    intra-continental dialogue and dialogue
  • Integrates agreed priority actions and innovative
    instruments
  • International organisations, third countries,
    civil society are welcome to join

7
Root cause approach
  • Address the push factors of migration
  • Poverty, lack of jobs
  • War, conflict
  • Persecution, human right violations
  • Environmental degradation, climate change
  • Bad governance
  • to make migration a choice, rather than a
    necessity

8
Specific priorities - general Fill the
information gap
  • Migration profiles pool all the information
    required to develop policy and monitor the impact
    of the policies implemented.
  • Regional Observatories Network collection,
    processing and dissemination of information on
    migration movements
  • Cooperation Platforms information sharing,
    discussion and joint action

9
Specific priorities legal migration Promote
circular migration
  • a triple win?
  • For the EU, it will be able to fill specific
    (temporary) gaps in the labour markets
  • For the country of origin, individuals will send
    money home and will eventually return with new
    skills
  • For migrants, they will acquire income, knowledge
    and skills, without giving up roots in country of
    origin

10
Specific priorities legal migration Negotiate
Mobility Partnerships
  • agreements with selected countries
  • EU offers
  • short-stay visa facilitation
  • facilitated access to the labour markets of
    Member States willing to participate in the
    scheme and circular migration schemes
  • provision of capacity building
  • Partner countries should cooperate on
  • fighting illegal migration
  • return
  • readmission

15
Impact of the financial crisis?
  • Developing countries affected by the crisis
  • Job losses affecting a number of sectors , labour
    migration flows affected?
  • Higher risk of discrimination
  • Remittances flows resilient compared to other
    finanical flows
  • Our response
  • Need to further insist on the connection betweeen
    migration and development

    developing countries

Challenge for the future

    management, integration policies)

    remittances, investments, transnational
    communities)
  • for the benefit of all
