  1. The External Dimension of EU Migration Policy Dr Emma Haddad DG Justice, Freedom, Security European Commission

  2. The external dimension • A political priority • An item that remains on high level agendas • Agreement on the need to integrate migration into external relations

  3. The policy context • Migration as a global phenomenon • Blurring between countries of origin, transit and destination • Developmental, demographic and democratic disparities

  4. The evolution of external dimension • Tampere 1999 • Seville, Laeken, Hague Programme… • Commission’s 2002 Communication on Integrating migration issues in the EU’s relations with third countries • UK Presidency initiatives, 2005

  5. 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.

  6. Work to promote dialogue • Bilateral level: individual African states • Regional level: Rabat conference, EU-ECOWAS working group on migration • Continental level: Tripoli conference, African Union

  7. Migration and development • Integration of migration into Country Strategy Papers • Migration profiles • Remittance flows, working with diaspora communities, mitigating the impact of ‘brain drain’

  8. Operational cooperation between EU Member States • Frontex coordinated joint operations • Feasibility studies • Risk analyses • RABITs

  9. Next steps Recent proposals: • Applying the Global Approach to Migration to the Eastern and South-Eastern regions neighbouring the EU • Circular migration and mobility partnerships between the EU and third countries

  10. Continued challenges • Shifting agendas and interests: politics is volatile • The need for resources • Meeting expectations: illegal versus legal • Agenda setting versus implementation • The importance of the longer-term approach
