Migracja cyrkulacyjna w świetle polityki imigracyjnej Unii Europejskiej

The aim of this article is to present the concept of circular migration in the European migration policy. Circular migration has recently been promoted as a triple win solution bringing benefits to destination and origin countries as well as to migrant workers themselves. What is more, circular movements are being advocated as a potential solution to a number of challenges surrounding contemporary migration in the EU (labour shortages in certain sectors, population ageing, etc.). The article focuses on political statements published mainly by the European Commission and the Council of the European Union directly and indirectly concerning circular migration. The EU has already developed certain regulations facilitating circular movements that are also mentioned in the publication. Finally, the paper offers some general thoughts about the implications for the future of the EU migration policy.
