Workshop
The transposition of EU directives on the area of immigration is an unresolved matter in the case of Spain. At least, that is what is suggested by the sentence imposed on Spain by the European Court of Justice for failing to transpose the Directive 2003/109/EC concerning the statute of nationals from third countries that are long-term residents in Spain, as well as the sentence for not having adopted, within the specified time period, the stipulations regarding assistance in Directive 2003/110/EC in cases of the air transit of individuals for the purposes of repatriation or ejection from the country, and the summons sent by the Commission to the Spanish government in relation to the creation of a special organisation for the fight against racial discrimination as described in Directive 2000/43.
The aim of this workshop is to re-examine the works on “La transposición de directivas de la UE sobre inmigración” (Documentos CIDOB Migraciones No. 8) and to foster analysis of the state of the transposition of the latest directives concerning immigration in Spanish legislation. Participants will be examining the challenges and difficulties for the transposition of the directives that affect students and research staff, as well as the regulations regarding people that employ irregular workers, etc.
