Title: Migration Policies of North African Countries towards Third Country Citizens

Date: 11th of November 2020

Time: 14:00 – 17:00 (CET)

Place: Zoom Webinar

Abstract: 

The aim of this 2nd National Workshop of the EuroMedMig Network is to focus on how North African States manage the dilemma they face on a regular basis: On the one hand, their commitment towards the EU through their externalisation policies by tightening the conditions of entry and stay of Nationals of other 3rd countries into their territories, and, on the other hand, the way they manage their relations with the others North African and Sub-Saharan States.

North African States are linked to each other as well as to Sub-Saharan African States through their trading activities throughout history, as well as through new economic cooperation agreements with, for example, the member States of the Common Market of Eastern and Southern Africa (COMESA) or of the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). The free movement of people is one of the conditions for the success of any regional cooperation project.
