From 1 January 1993 the frontiers between national labour markets in the European Community (EC) (and probably EFTA) will be removed. This fact will have implications for the formulation of a common immigration policy at European level. This article discusses the prospects in Europe concerning immigration from third countries in relation to the internal market, the border control issue and the general policies towards non-EC nationals living within the community. The paper will concentrate on immigration from the "South", discussing the preconditions for various forms of influx from poor countries in the Third World to the European Community. Attention will also be paid to the conception of the problem in the West, and to the prevailing policy proposals at national and European level. It is contended that development aid will not be a sufficient medicine to curb the immigration pressure in the future.
