This is the seventh in a series of ten papers published jointly by the EU Institute for Security Studies (EUISS) and the European Institute of the Mediterranean (IEMed) which aim to address ten critical topics for Euro-Mediterranean relations. The papers have been commissioned with a view to formulating policy options on a set of issues which are central to achieving the objectives set out in the 1995 Barcelona Declaration and the Paris Declaration of 2008, as well as defining new targets for 2020 in the political, economic and social spheres. This seventh issue of the 10 Papers for Barcelona 2010 focuses on one of the most sensitive issues of Euro-Mediterranean relations. For the migration issue is not only a societal and economic: it is eminently political. Yet the free flow people and workers is suffering from lack of harmonization of legislation between the 27 member states. Rather than being tied to the calendar election, this issue should be addressed as one of the "big policies", within the framework of long-term strategic analysis.
