The EU action plan on integration of third country nationals

With this briefing paper SOLIDAR would like to make a first assessment and present main recommendations for a good implementation of the recently issued EU Action Plan on integration of third country nationals. The Action Plan establishes a framework for action and concrete initiatives to support Member States in the integration of the 20 million non-EU nationals residing legally in the EU. It includes actions supporting pre-departure and pre-arrival measures, education, employment and vocational training, access to basic services, active participation and social inclusion.
