Entry And Residence In Europe

Designed to provide practical advice and guidance for businesses, individuals and legal advisers on the rules governing moving between or into EU countries, Entry and Residence in Europe: Business Guide to Immigration Rules addresses questions such as: What conditions are required to obtain a residence/work permit in a particular country? What rights do spouses and children have when a family member relocates into Europe? What are the rules governing pensions? What sanctions are available to the national authorities when immigration rules are breached? Equally applicable to EU and non-EU citizens, Entry and Residence in Europe is structured on a country-by-country basis and includes an overview of the current EU situation. The authors of each chapter are experts local to that jurisdiction and they are all members of the only organised group of immigration practitioners in Europe. Praise for the first edition: "A useful reference guide for organisations wishing to locate their staff in the EC, as well as for individuals interested in working abroad. Comprehensive and clearly presented in a business-like manner?" Business Age "?the book is a useful guide to the present situation in Europe and to the options available. Personnel managers of foreign-owned subsidiaries doing business in the EC and of multinational companies with overseas operations will find it especially useful." Arab-British Commerce "They have anticipated the problems posed to practising lawyers in every aspect of this particular field and, so far as is possible, have distilled and simplified the plethora of legislation, so as to make it a comprehensible and readily understandable work for practitioners."

In this work Moritz Jesse analyses the legal framework within which inclusion of immigrants into the receiving societies can take place. The inclusion of immigrants cannot be enforced by law. However, legislation must provide the room within which integration can take place legally. By studying residence titles, procedures and other sources in a comparative and critical way, Jesse wants to discover whether the legal potential for integration in the EU and the three Member States is sufficient for the inclusion of immigrants.

In Europe, immigration is a politically potent issue—especially when it comes to the treatment of asylum seekers and illegal labor immigrants. This volume draws the reader into the complex and contradictory world of migration regulation and control, covering the wide range of different policy approaches that aim to control the entry and residence of non-EU citizens. Revealing the common framework, tendencies, and policy convergences brought about less by design than a common concern about migration’s impact on the future of the EU, Modes of Migration Regulation and Control in Europe questions the effectiveness of additional efforts in terms of their fiscal and societal costs. “This important book emphasizes that European countries individually and collectively are converging in their efforts to manage migration.”—Philip Martin, University of California, Davis

The individual has become visible throughout Europe and within its institutions as a potential or actual rights holder. He or she is no longer defined as visible or invisible in law by the nation state alone. In today's Europe, he or she establishes identity'that is, the rights to entry, residence, work, family life, and protection from expulsion'through a multilayered legal structure involving the nation state, the EU, and the Council of Europe and all their political, administrative, and judicial arenas. In this remarkable study Elspeth Guild examines the ways in which law in Europe defines the status of the individual and his or her entitlements as regards identity. Among her enlightening approaches to this complex subject the following may be listed: the right to move across borders;the limitations of citizenship of the Union as currently construed;social benefits of citizenship;residence; immigration;family reunification;human rights of foreigners;asylum;expulsion and readmission;racial discrimination; andlong-resident third-country nationals. The analysis includes extensive reference to relevant cases, especially European Court of Justice and European Court of Human Rights decisions. This is a work of great value and insight. As more and more legislation is adopted in the area of European citizenship, courts will increasingly be called upon to articulate the relationship of individuals to the territory and society in which they find themselves. And as this inevitable development is defined, all jurists and legal academics who care for civil society in Europe will discover this deeply considered book afresh.

This book provides an analysis of the current state of affairs in EU migration law. Five Directives on legal migration and national legislation in five Member States are critically assessed in terms of compliance with EU principles of law and international human rights.

The EU Citizenship Directive defines the right of free movement for citizens of the European Economic Area. It applies to EU citizens and their family members who move to another Member State. This might at first seem like a straightforward definition, but immediately questions arise. Who determines if a person is an EU citizen at all? What about dual citizens of two Member States, or of one Member State and a non-Member State (a 'third State')? What is the position of EU citizens who move to one Member State, and then return to their home Member State? This book provides a comprehensive commentary of the EU's Citizens' Directive tracing the evolution of the Directive's provisions, placing each article in its historical and legislative context. Special emphasis is placed on highlighting the connections and interactions between the Directive's constituent provisions so as to permit a global appreciation of the system of free movement rights to which the Directive gives effect. Each provision is annotated containing a detailed analysis of the case-law of the Court of Justice as well as of related measures impacting upon the Directive's interpretation including European Commission reports and guidelines on the Directive's implementation. The authors have drawn on their combined experience in academia, practice and the EU institutions to provide an engaging and critical account of the Citizenship Directive, approaching it directly from an EU law perspective.

Includes separate chapters on the law affecting immigrants in 18 European countries
