ENPI Workshop in Krakow, May 7-9

CASE, in cooperation with the Central European University (CEU) from Budapest and the Institute for the Study of Labour (IZA) from Bonn, organised the mid-term workshop in Kraków to discuss the results within the study on “ENPI - Costs and Benefits of Labour Mobility between the EU and the Eastern Partnership Partner Countries” so far.

Klaus F. Zimmermann (Director of IZA) is the teamleader of ENPI, and Martin Kahanec (Central European University and IZA) and Luca Barbone (President of CASE - Center for Social and Economic Research) the organisers the deputy team leaders (on the picture right to left).

In the first phase of this project, small local research teams have prepared country reports on the links between labour market developments and migration in the six Eastern Partnership countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine) and five EU member states (Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and the United Kingdom).

On the first day of the workshop, participants from each of these countries presented their reports, discussed the outcomes and the lessons to be learned. On the second day, the group discussed different options and scenarios of increased mobility between the EU and EaP countries and how to measure their costs and benefits.
