  3. Greece has faced the migration phenomenon throughout its history. Traditionally, it has been a country that until twenty years ago was a migration sender rather than host. Until mid to late 1970’s Greeks emigrated in significant numbers to northern Europe, the USA and Australia[1]. Immigration issues (and especially illegal immigration) entered the policy-making agenda in the 1990s, following the political developments in Southeast Europe and the conflict in the Middle East which rapidly and dramatically transformed Greece from a country of emigrants to a country of immigration. However, the almost incontrollable influx of undocumented immigrants after 1989 led to “administrative and political confusion with regard to migration policy, and an over-representation of irregular/illegal immigrants working in conditions of informality across the Greek economy”[2].

Phases of the Greek migration policy • First phase: Reinforcement of state controls in order to prevent migration • Second Phase: Collection of Data and effort to manage the phaenomenon (legalizations) • Third phase: Harmonization of the legal framework with the european standards

The legal framework on migration • From panspermia of provisions to the creation of few basic tools (Law Nr. 3386/2005) • Implementation of the acquiscommunautaire on migration • The regulation regarding the issuance and renewal of staying permits • Secondary Legislation on Migration • Special provisions regarding economic migration
