  2. (1) Euro-Mediterranean Migration Region: Great opportunities, potential instabilities • Regional co-operation (not merely bilateral) is needed to facilitate migration management, circularity, development • The EU, the US, the OECD must share burdens more equitably to meet the needs of this migration region

  3. (2) Management – and perceptions – of the system need overhauling • Smart, open-ended permits • New voluntary, temporary, cyclical migration schemes • Major simplification of bureaucratic and administrative procedures • A monitoring and information sharing system

  4. (3) Migration and development policies need to be interlinked • Receiving country migration policies must be viewed through a “development lens” (to assess their impact on skills, labour markets, poverty…) • Sending-country development policies must be viewed through a “migration lens” • The role of aid: to build capacity

  5. (4) Effective Partnerships • Sending and receiving countries must be involved… • …but also • Diaspora networks • The private sector (employers, banks…) • Transit countries • The EU can help develop principles and a framework for these policies
