Round Table 1: “The European migration policy in the new world order”
All Member States of the European Union (EU) are affected by the international migration’s flow. They have agreed to
develop a common immigration policy at EU level. The main objective is to better manage migration flows by a
coordinated approach which takes into account the economic and demographic situation of the EU.
The movement of people across borders is reshaping world politics. This panel could put the attention on the increasing
importance of external dimension of migration and asylum policy due to changed border relationships within and between
EU Member States. It could distinguish between types of borders and identify key patterns in the post-cold war migration
policy of Europe, analyzing the development of new forms of international migration relations between EU States and their
neighbors.

Welcome Coffee
“Identity, Security and Migrant’s Rights”
Immigration is an international phenomenon that affects all Member States of the European Union. Reasons for migration can
vary between the need to escape poverty, inequality and conflict, the desire to pursue better work and educational opportunities,
or even wanting to live in a cleaner environment or better climate. People often migrate for a combination of reasons and in
sometimes complex circumstances. EU Heads of State have recognized that a common approach is necessary to mange
migration and they have decided to harmonize national legislation on immigration to regulate migration flows in line with the
needs of the economy and the ability of the EU to absorb and integrate new immigrants. The integration of immigrants in EU
Member States is one of the greatest challenges facing the common immigration policy and a key element in promoting
economic and social cohesion within the EU.

Coffee Break
“Economy and migration: the role of businesses for a sustainable development”
The point of view whereby immigrants are seen as agents for economic growth and reduction of poverty is growing at both the
State and private level, and, specifically, within the financial system. This round table would bring some examples of good
immigrants’ integration into the European Labor and Financial markets and some examples of successful companies set up by
immigrants. Moreover, one of the most important factor driving development has been identified as remittances. Remittances
perform a social function of primary importance for developing countries, as they are often the only source of support for most of
the families of workers who have emigrated abroad.
