EPIM Policy Update October 2018

EPIM Policy Updates are developed as a resource for organisations interested in European policy developments in the area of migration and integration. The European Policy Centre (EPC), a Brussels-based think tank, has been commissioned to produce these Policy Updates, which are released five times a year.

EPIM Policy Updates address topics relevant to EPIM’s Thematic Funds: Immigration Detention; Reforming the Common European Asylum System; Children and Youth on the Move; Mobile EU Citizens’ Access to Rights; and Building Inclusive European Societies.

This edition’s special focus covers different attempts to externalise migration policy, which have been the subject of discussion since the summer. Other key highlights of this Policy Update include:

• Spain´s cooperation with Morocco on migration control;
• The State of the Union´s migration proposals;
• EU discussions on golden visas;
• A closer look from Refugees Welcome Italia at refugee reception systems in Italy.
