Regularisations of Irregularly Staying Migrants in the EU

The book explores the challenges of the EU's return policy regarding irregular migration, highlighting the low enforcement rate of return decisions. It critiques the effectiveness of current legislation and emphasizes the potential of regularisation as a viable alternative to deportation. By comparing the regularisation systems in Austria, Germany, and Spain, the text reveals how these national approaches can inform EU-wide solutions. It argues that implementing EU regularisations could significantly enhance efforts to address irregular migration more effectively.
