Across Fading Borders: The Challenges of East-West Migration in the EU
The accession to the EU of twelve new Member States in three years confronted the 'old' Member States with the question whether to open their labour markets to citizens from the new Member States; and these citizens with the question of whether to take the opportunity and establish a new life abroad.
Since then, a debate has erupted about the impact of East-West migration on the countries of destination and origin, and the fate of the migrants themselves. In the meantime, some of the new Member States are now grappling themselves with a new status as immigration countries.
EUMAP invited authors to analyse the impact and background of intra-EU migration. It is pleased to now present a first set of four papers by independent contributors. Read more:

The Editors Weblog
There is "considerable risk," warns a report by the EU's Culture and Education Committee, that private media's pursuit of profit could compromise its ability to act as a watchdog for democracy.
