• Resumen

  • This conference focuses on the legal questions arisen by the immigration phenomena in European Union countries, which have not yet developed a common estatute to guarantee the rights of the «extra-communitarian» citizens. Thus, the lack of a coherent and specific rights’ estatute –beyond the regulation of the so-called «people’s free circulation», which essentially mirrors the goods’ free circulation– and the absence of a minimal common immigration policy lead to «defective situations» in which the essential human rights are ignored. According to Professor Vilà, it is possible to distinguish three main causes explaining these lacks: (i) the limited competencies of the Union on this matter and the fragmentary techniques of regulation it is provided with; (ii) the plurality of legal bases to be applied and the extreme diversity of decision-making instances, and (iii) the institutional incapacity to adopt normative measures following the Parliament, the Comission and the Council’s big declarative intentions. Thus, the alternative measures to overcome the «defective situations» –which tend to maintain the differences between the «comunitarian citizenry» and the «non comunitarian» foreigners– could be the following: (i) to maximize the new opportunity opened by the Amsterdam Treatise towards the establishment of a common immigration policy; (ii) to unify the legal sources by means of an estatutarian method which separates the political issues (border’s control, immigration quotes, etc.) in order to strictly regulate the legal ones, that is to say, the right’s of foreign people residing legally in the European Union.
