Abstract
EU immigration politics and policies have been established by EU institutions and member states during the past four decades. Initial efforts to cooperate on this issue started in the 1970s and, since then, supranational influence on the policy area has increased step by step. From 1999 to 2009, member states agreed on five directives that regulate the entry and residence of migratory categories. These encompass family migration, long-term residents, students, researchers, and highly qualified workers. Observing this development, this book deals with two basic questions: First, how can EU policy in such a sovereignty-sensitive area like immigration be achieved? And, second, what kind of policy was agreed upon at the EU level? Does EU legislation in this policy area aim to restrict or expand immigration in EU member states?
