Abstract

International migration is one of the most defining phenomena for modern societies, and it has been, for the past couple of years, one of the main challenges the European Union has had to confront. Despite the fact that the positive effects of this phenomenon are not to be denied, and they are the topic of numerous researches, one cannot disregard the negative consequences, which are more and more frequently becoming a reason for concern for the public opinion and the policymakers. Therefore, creating an institutional and policy architecture aimed at responding these types of concerns has become one of the European priorities. The aim of this paper is to approach, in an interdisciplinary manner, the instruments of the European Union`s institutions in building mechanisms enabled to handle this flows. The hereby study identifies the tasks of each of the main European institutions, as well as the part they have in the decisionmaking process regarding the establishment and application of effective policies in the field of migration. Therefore, the paper starts by briefly presenting migration in Europe and the regulations in the field of the freedom of circulation. The core of the article is focused on the tools and tasks of the main European institutions in the matters of migration, as described in the Treaties and developed in the European agenda on Migration issued in 2015. A distinctive part is dedicated to presenting the main provisions of this document and the results of the latest reports issued regarding its implementation.
