Migration and minorities

Migration is a constant and dynamic phenomenon increasingly requiring diversified policy intervention in order to maximize its potential benefits and minimize related costs for both countries of origin and destination as well as migrants themselves. Better knowledge and enhanced capacities in different policy areas are essential to ensure the protection of migrants, the facilitation of legal migration, the integration of migrants into the country of destination, the support for sustainable voluntary return and the greater interlinking between migration and development.
Migration policy at EU and national levels is one of the hottest topics in current political
debate, with daily discussion of the impact of migration in the media and political debate
across Europe.The European Commission has funded a great deal of migration-related research  to give a strategic input into policy-making.
