For centuries economic migration has played a particularly important role in the economic growth of admission countries. Thus there can be no doubt as to the significance of the Green Paper ‘On an EU approach to managing economic migration’. However, the document is contradictory. It indicates that it is devoted to admission procedures for migrants from third countries, and not the movement of persons within the EU's internal market. However, it is predicted that discussions on the results of the Green Paper will form the basis of a plan on how to react to the needs of the labour market. Migrants will be admitted to the EU labour market; it is proposed that EU labour market services like the European Public Employment Services and the EURES job mobility portal will be used to facilitate their employment. The Council Directive on the status of third-country nationals who are long-term residents, which enters into force in 2006, provides that long-term migrants will be able to move to another Member State or settle in it for the purposes of studying, hired employment or self-employment or may even settle without engaging in any economic activity. This means that long-term economic migrants will be able to work and offer services across practically the entire EU internal market. At the same time, for the new EU Member States a transition period of seven years applies to the free movement of workers. Parliament has been discussing the Services Directive for two years. Yet neither free movement of persons, nor free movement of services has truly been realised in the EU itself. Bearing in mind that the determination of the flow of economic migration is a matter for Member States, I propose that when they are devised, EU regulations on the admission of economic migrants should be confined to the minimum criteria for migrant admission, and should leave the Member State the right to make a final decision, all the more so because the EU does not have a common industrial policy. Thank you."@en1
