Relying on the implementation assessment of the Directive carried out by the European Parliamentary Research Service, the article analyses the way in which Member States have implemented the Directive and how this has impacted the effectiveness of the Directive. If adopted as proposed, will the recast strengthen or further undermine the effectiveness? The assessment focuses on return decision, voluntary departure, entry ban, and detention. It also looks at omissions in the recast proposal, namely a missed opportunity to remedy the current shortcomings as regards non-returnable people. As the article concludes, the recast proposal will hardly improve the effectiveness of return and may lead to violations of fundamental rights of people in an irregular situation.","PeriodicalId":51819,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Migration and Law","volume":"23 1","pages":"103-126"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41750952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

They increasingly restrict the conditions for obtain-ing residence permits as well as the benefit of social rights. These integration conditions take on singular forms and raise particular issues in relation to the Association Agreement concluded between the European Union and Turkey, in particular with regard to so-called ‘stand-still clauses’. The present article begins from the A v. Udlaendinge-og Integrationsministeriet case and criticises the Court’s silence about the elephant in the room on the issue of integration conditions towards third-country nationals: racial and/or ethnic discrimination. The case is about an integration condition imposed by the Danish Government as a prerequisite for a ‘family reunion’ residence permit for the spouse of a Turkish worker: the spouses must prove that they have a stronger link with Denmark than with Turkey. The solution adopted by the Court of Justice in striking down this integration condition is not surprising. However, its reasoning suggests more tolerance – or even laxity – about the way the concept of integration is used by the Member States. This situation is problematic insofar as these integration conditions, the very principle of which is questionable per se, conceal increasingly discriminatory and exclusionary measures which the Court is reluctant to denounce, as opposed to the Euro-pean Court of Human Rights.","PeriodicalId":51819,"journal":{"name":"European Journal of Migration and Law","volume":"23 1","pages":"176-201"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2021-05-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47104404","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The transfer of powers to the abolished federal migration service of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia served as the starting point for the agency’s active rule-making activities aimed at legal regulation of a new area of activity related to migration relations. The result of this work was a significant number of administrative regulations of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia for the provision of various kinds of state services in the field of migration. However, not all of the above existing administrative regulations today effectively fulfill their purpose, as a result of which their enforcement needs constant monitoring in order to timely eliminate existing shortcomings, such as the implementation of duplicate administrative actions, redundant functions, etc., which, in the end, may lead to a violation rights and legitimate interests of recipients of public services. In turn, the systematic work of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia to improve the quality of the provision of public services in the field of migration will undoubtedly serve to increase public confidence and citizens’ support for the department’s activities.

The author assesses the opportunities and prospects of external migration to compensate for the natural decline in the demographic potential of Russia. It is shown that it is unrealistic to ensure the upward demographic dynamics of the country’s population in the coming years only by activating measures to increase the birth rate and reduce mortality. In solving this problem it is of great importance to implement those areas of migration policy that are associated with more active use of the remaining residual migration potential of a part of the Russian-speaking population in the post-Soviet space. The paper considers the current processes of resettlement from the countries of the near and far abroad, the estimates of which do not give grounds for too much optimism. The diagnostics of trends related to the implementation of the State program to assist voluntary resettlement of compatriots living abroad to the Russian Federation was carried out. The problematic components of including migrants to the economic and social structures of Russian society are identified and disclosed. The article substantiates the need to address a set of issues related to more active use of the remaining residual migration potential of Russian speaking communities abroad. Conclusions are drawn about the need to modernize the migration policy of the Russian state during and after the end of the active phase of the fight against coronavirus.
