I should like to underline that in our view the phenomenon of illegal residence might be significantly

reduced by:

1. clear, accessible and open procedures for legal labour migration into the EU, as

well as a coherent and open information policy on these procedures

  1. an improved efficiency and quality of asylum procedures, and an asylum policy which would make it possible to reach the territory of the Union in a legal way and launch a claim for asylum”1


one of the problems with many voluntary return programmes is the lack of preparation that the migrant has to return.2

““Everyone has the right to leave any country, including his own, and to return to his country.”4 Of course, this right does not mention a right to immigrate in any country; however, it does effectively prevent governments from introducing extreme emigration controls if they are not to be accused of human rights violations”.3 4 Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Art. 13.23

Some research also proves that low-skilled (and perhaps irregular) migrants send back higher amounts of remittances than highly skilled experts.”4
