European Commission 7 June 2016, COMMUNICATION FROM THE COMMISSION TO THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT, THE COUNCIL, THE EUROPEAN ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL COMMITTEE AND THE COMMITTEE OF THE REGIONS Action Plan on the integration of third country nationals

Also known as

This European Commission Action Plan establishes a common policy framework to support Member States in the integration of legally resident third-country nationals across key areas including education, employment, and access to basic services. Pursuant to Article 79(4) TFEU, the document outlines strategic EU-level operational and financial tools, such as the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the European Structural and Investment Funds (ESI Funds), to coordinate national integration efforts. The framework emphasizes a two-way integration process based on fundamental EU values, aiming to mitigate the economic and social risks of non-integration while addressing current migratory challenges.AI
