Abstract

The aim of the paper is to examine the interdependence between integration and migratory processes as well as the general factors that conditioned the inflows of CEE citizens into the old Member States. What is more, the impact is put on the evaluation of the influence of immigration policy on tendencies and the changing profile of migrants both: at European and national level.

International migration is the absentee in the current wave of globalization and European integration, particularly in Europe. Helped by falling communication and transportation costs and by reduction in policy barriers to commodity and capital flows, trade flows and foreign direct investment have in creased in last 25 years at a faster rate than world production. Migration flows, on the other hand, have shown little change during the same period except for the temporary surge following the collapse of the socialist regimes in Central and Eastern Europe and enhancing processes of European integration within the EU.
