Details
‘Combatting’ irregular migration is one of the key challenges to migration management at EU level. The present book addresses one of the most pressing structural problems regarding the EU’s return policy: the low return rate of irregularly staying migrants. In this regard the EU Return Directive obliges Member States to issue a return decision, yet only 40% of such decisions are enforced annually. Moreover, despite the political and legal efforts, the EU is not making any significant progress in enforcing the rules it has laid down in the Return Directive. The legislation of EU Member States may, however, serve as a source for possible solutions to ‘combat’ the problem of irregularly staying migrants. It is for this reason that the book compares the system of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain. Regularisations constitute an effective alternative to returns because they terminate the irregular residence of migrants, not through deportation, but rather by granting a right of residence. Regularisation is therefore understood as each legal decision that awards legal residency to irregularly staying migrants. As is shown by the examination and comparison of regularisations in Austria, Germany and Spain, differentiated systems of regularisation exist at national level. However, EU regularisations supplementing the present return policy would be more effective at ‘combatting’ irregular migration at EU level.

Review | »Se trata, en fin, de un magnífico trabajo de investigación, que no sólo analiza en profundidad y con una sistematicidad y seriedad encomiables, el Derecho vigente, sino que ofrece propuestas factibles, a partir de la concepción de los inmigrantes como seres humanos, que demuestra que no hay una única vía o respuesta posible –en realidad, en democracia nunca la hay–, menos aún si la pretendida ‘única respuesta posible’ es contraria al ser humano como sujeto de Derecho y de derechos.« Prof. Félix Vacas Fernández, DERECHOS Y LIBERTADES 50/2024 »Throughout the book, Hinterberger demonstrates a mastery of the craft of legal comparison, presenting the technicalities of regularisation laws in Austria, Germany and Spain in a clear and well-structured manner. Based on a carefully constructed conceptualisation, the integrated analysis provides detailed and contextualised information on the case study countries’ migration laws pertaining to regularisations. […] Hinterberger’s book is a must-read for scholars working on regularisations and makes an essential contribution to the emerging field of comparative migration law« Gianna Eckert, EJML 25/2023 |
