MIGRATION
In the spotlight
Under the motto: “Social Justice from Farm to Fork. Fight Precarious Work!” the European Federation of Food, Agriculture and Tourism Trade Unions (EFFAT) launched its Charter on Precarious Work at a press conference today, during its Congress in Berlin. Statistics for the sectors in question emphasise once again that the situation on the European labour market is actually getting worse, not better.
Aim
For migrant workers (both EU and third-country nationals), it is increasingly difficult to find their way through the maze of legislation regulating migration.

Therefore, this website is first of all for migrants: besides information on migration legislation, they can find here mobility tools and useful links. The website is also meant for those who represent workers: information on legislation, studies, political positions, etc. can be easily used for the work of trade unions. It can also be useful for students or other persons who wish to have an overview of the situation of migration in Europe.
Though the starting point of this website is available in three languages: English, French and German, we will continue only in English. Still, most of the official documents will soon be available in French and German as well.
