Its its February 2013 Report on the integration of migrants, its effects on the labour market and the external dimension of social security coordination, the European Parliament welcomes the European Web Site on Integration (EWSI), maintained by MPG, as part of the existing EU instruments for the formulation of integration policies:
“Welcomes the existing EU instruments for the formulation of integration policies, for example the network of National Contact Points on Integration, the European integration website, the European Handbook on Integration, the European Integration Fund, the Asylum and Migration Fund, the EU immigration portal and the European integration modules”
The report further calls for a “‘one-stop-shop’ website for aspiring entrepreneurs which would provide information on opportunities and challenges, on European and national subsidies, and on organisations and bodies providing assistance in the field of self-employment“.
The European Web Site on Integration already contains a wealth of good practices and documents pertaining to immigrant entrepreneurship and self-employment. Read the EWSI Editorial Team’s Integration Dossier on this subject, published in 2012.
