The EU's dialogue on migration, mobility, and security with the Southern Mediterranean: filling the gaps in the global approach to migration. CEPS Liberty and Security in Europe, June 2011

摘要

Recent events in North Africa and the Mediterranean have had consequences in terms of human mobility,and are putting the foundations and components of EU’s migration policy under strain. The forthcomingEuropean Council summit of 23-24 June 2011 is expected to determine ‘the orientations for further work’under the Polish Presidency and the next JHA Trio Presidency Programme for the EU’s policies on crossbordermigration in the Mediterranean and internal mobility within the scope of the Schengen regime.This paper constitutes a contribution to current and future EU policy discussions and responses onmigration, mobility and security. It provides a synthesised selection of recommendations in these domainsresulting from the research conducted by the Justice and Home Affairs (JHA) Section of the Centre forEuropean Policy Studies (CEPS) during the last nine years of work.This Policy Brief argues that for the EU’s Global Approach to Migration to be able to satisfactorily addressits unfinished elements and policy incoherencies, the Union needs to devise and develop common policystrategies focused on: first, new enforcement and independent evaluation mechanisms on theimplementation of the European law on free movement, borders and migration, and the compatibility of EUmember states and EU agencies’ actions with the EU Charter of Fundamental Rights. And second, thedevelopment of a kind of cooperation (dialogue) with third states that goes beyond security-centredpriorities and that is solidly based on facilitating human mobility, consolidating fundamental rights and thegeneral principles of the rule of law upon which the EU legal system is founded.
