Bilateral Labour Agreements
Mr. Dário Muhamudo
The Greek Government has bilateral labor agreements with Egypt, Bulgaria and Albania, mostly for seasonal workers, anbd believes that by establishing legal channels for migration, the agreements enhance inter-governmental cooperation at economic, social and cultural levels.
Greek Action Plan on Asylum And Migration
The Greek Government is establishing an effective, humane oriented response to the current migration challenges including the need to combat irregular migration and to address the situation of vulnerable migrants, in full respect of human rights and the EU acquis on migration and asylum. The Revised Action Plan on Asylum and Migration Management is the strategic implementation of the Government’s determination to reform the asylum and immigration processes.
National Strategy for the Integration of Third Country Nationals
This National Strategy comprises policies for both structural (insertion to the labour market) and cultural (language learning, civic courses and intercultural mediation) integration of migrants legally residing in the Greek territory.
New Immigration Code (Greece)
According to the new Immigration Code, third-country nationals legally residing in Greece are entitled to free movement and establishment all over the country. They enjoy the same rights as nationals concerning social security and social protection. Migrant minors are subject to obligatory school attendance as nationals and they enjoy free access to all activities within the educational communities at all levels of education.
The European Job Mobility Portal (EURES)
Launched in 1994, EURES is a European cooperation network of employment services, designed to facilitate the free movement of workers. The network has always worked hard to ensure that European citizens can benefit from the same opportunities, despite language barriers, cultural differences, bureaucratic challenges, diverse employment laws and a lack of recognition of educational certificates across Europe.
This web portal provides information on access to job opportunities in 32 European countries. It also promotes the cooperation amongst national employment agencies.
