Shaping the future of EU legal migration

FRA contributed to a Spanish Presidency European Migration Network event on ‘Shaping the future of EU legal migration’. Participants discussed tools and challenges of labour migration policies as well as complementary pathways linked to work for people in need of international protection.

FRA focused on measures needed to address practical obstacles to equal treatment rights, based on its report on strengthening EU law on long-term residence.

The participants included EU and Member State representatives, parliamentarians, representatives from non-EU countries and the private sector.

The meeting took place on 16 and 17 November in Madrid.
