Research Abstract

In many European countries, social integration of immigrants become one of the most important political issues. Thus, the social protection, housing, education and vocational training of immigrants are considered more and more the effective means of their integration, and in certain countries (as is the case of Germany) the recent revision of law made more easier the naturalization procedures and introduced the principle of jus soil into the nationality law. But these politics depend on the traditions and political contexts of each country and EU (European Union) has not yet commonly elaborated politics on immigration except for those of the regulation of entry of immigrants and refugees. According to our researches. However, EU makes effort to improve, by so-called "European Citizenship", the social and political conditions of foreign residents of EU countries'origine, and to reduce the differences of rights of immigrants of EU origin and those of immigrants of non EU origine. European Commission also try to fight against the racism and xenophobia by promoting an anti-discriminatory education. We expect that the Treaty of Amsterdam signed in 1997 would help to enlarge, in the near future, the sphere of common EU politics on the integration of immigrants.
