Text of Note

The European Union has become a region of intense immigration and themovements of third country nationals from outside or within the territory of theMember States has jumped to the top of ECIEU political agenda.Important ECIEU measures have been adopted concernmg the mostimportant aspects in the area of immigration since the late eighties. The movementsof third country nationals have nonetheless been regulated by EC law, althoughincidentally, since the origin of the Communities.The analysis covers fifty years of Community immigration history and itstudies the changes in the immigration movements themselves and, in particular, oftheir regulation under ECIEU law.The research focuses on the factors that have contributed and that areshaping the emerging European immigration policy in order to evaluate the realimpact of old and, especially, new rules on racial and ethnic minority groups andwomen.An EU integrated policy covenng all aspects related to third countrynationals does not exist but very important steps, consolidated in the AmsterdamTreaty, have been taken over the last decade (1989/1999). The strategy to adopt atEU level is not very clear or coherent due to the complexity of the area itself andbecause of the different approaches of the EU Institutions on the answer to give toimmigration issues.It has been demonstrated that although some gaps remain in the labyrinth ofECIEU immigration rules, the main trend, imposed principally by the MemberStates, is towards the creation of a White Fortress Europe.
