he European Union has had formal competence in the field of labour migration for more than a decade. But the actual scope and impact of the EU in this field – with the macroscopic exception of the massive boost to East-West mobility given by enlargements – has so far been limited. Within LAB-MIG-GOV, the current and potential role of the EU in the European labour migration governance system is analysed by the European Policy Centre through a variety of tools including policy briefs, working papers and the periodical meetings of a stakeholders’ task force.
