摘要：Immigration into the EU and the integration of those who have immigrated constitute two multifaceted and highly complex policy areas. These topics feature prominently in current political debates, which have been taking place at all levels of government in Europe. Debates have also been taking place within the centre-right European People's Party (EPP) and its member parties. In response, the Centre for European Studies (CES) and its member foundations, which are attached to the EPP member parties, have embarked on a joint research project on immigration and integration. The goal of this research project is to contribute to the ongoing debate, share knowledge between countries, highlight areas of EU-wide importance, and inform and improve immigration and integration policies at national and EU levels. The present publication has arisen out of this project.
