The impact of the global economic crisis on migration in
Europe

Recommendation 1910 (2010)1

1.        The
Parliamentary Assembly refers to its
Resolution 1718 (2010) on the impact of the global
economic crisis on migration in Europe.

2.        The
Assembly considers that the Council of Europe is well
positioned to contribute by its own standards and expertise to
the global debate on how to best relieve the impact of the
current economic and employment crisis on migrants. In this
context, it draws attention to the Organisation’s previous
work in strengthening the rights of migrants, refugees and
asylum seekers and encouraging their effective
integration.

3.
Consequently, the Assembly recommends that the Committee of
Ministers:

3.1.
brings the
recommendations contained in the aforementioned Resolution to
the attention of the
governments of member states;

3.2.
encourages all member states to adhere to and implement the
relevant Council of Europe
conventions ensuring the
protection of migrant workers;

3.3.
instructs the European Committee of Migration (CDMG) to issue
a policy paper on the
consequences of the global crisis on migration in the 47
member states of the Council of Europe,
bringing together
inter alia relevant quantitative and empirical data on
the effects of the current crisis
on migration flows,
unemployment rates among migrants, remittance flows as well as
policy responses        from all
member states of the Council of Europe;

3.4.
further develop measures to promote and protect the human
rights of especially vulnerable
migrants and those in
need of protection;

3.5.
step up the organisation’s work in the field of integration of
migrants in European societies;

3.6.
further develop anti-discrimination and awareness-raising
programmes fostering tolerance and
respect towards cultural
diversity and the positive contribution of migrants to
society.
