2004-07-24


The paper 'Five Years of EU Migration and Asylum Policy-Making under the Amsterdam and Tampere Mandates' was prepared by Jan Niessen for the German Council of Experts for Immigration and Integration.

It reviews five years of EU migration and asylum policy-making under the Amsterdam and Tampere mandates, looking in turn at the Justice and Home Affairs agenda, the socio-economic agenda, and the foreign policy agenda. In its concluding chapter, the paper offers elements for assessing the achievements of five years of EU policy-making in these areas (September 1999 - May 2004) and makes suggestions as to how to work on the unfinished agendas.
