- Summary
Illegal migration pressure in the EU underwent a foreseeable seasonal increase during the second quarter of 2010, but is still clearly in a period of decline. The widespread decline in illegal migration pressure is probably due to two key factors. The first is decreased employment opportunities in the EU (especially for migrants) compounded by a weaker Euro, which together render the EU a much less attractive place to work and gather remittances. Despite several states enjoying some signs of economic recovery, there has been little revival in employment sectors typified by migrants. The second is stricter migration and asylum policies in Member States, supported by much more effective collaboration with key third countries
