Abstract

Moves to complete the single European market by 1993 together with worldwide migratory pressures have forced immigration onto the European Union's political agenda. Intergovernmental co‐operation has been the preferred, but disputed method by which member states are developing a more co‐ordinated immigration and border control policy. The EC institutions have become involved despite attempts by national governments to protect sovereignty and to promote subsidiarity. The Maastricht Treaty negotiations highlighted divisions between member states and policy development has been slow. Despite introducing more restrictive immigration controls, EU states have already become countries of immigration but have yet to acknowledge this.
