The European Regional Consultation was held at the beginning of July, as part of six regional discussions that took place in preparation of the annual GFMD Summit.  The Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD)<\/a>, provided a platform to exchange views on European perspectives on migration. The OECD-GFMD consultation was the fifth regional series to be completed, following other regional consultations held in cooperation with the African Union (for Anglophone and Francophone Africa), the Bali Process, and the Regional Conference on Migration (Puebla Process).  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The three themes selected for discussion by European stakeholders were: the \u201cgovernance of labour migration in the context of changing employment landscapes\u201d, the \u201cskilling of migrants for employment\u201d, and \u201cfostering partnerships to realise migration-related goals in the Sustainable Development Agenda\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur time offers the opportunity for an overall global reset\u201d – the voice of Civil Society at the European Regional Consultation <\/h4>\n\n\n\n

For the OECD GFMD consultation, the civil society rapporteur was Onyekachi Wambu, director of the African Foundation for Development <\/a>(AFFORD) in the UK. In his statement, Onyekachi pointed out how the main phenomena of this time — COVID-19, the Black Lives Matter movement, and Climate Change — should also be seen as opportunities for a global and bold rethinking on a new way to proceed<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the \u201cLabour Governance\u201d theme discussed during the European Consultation, civil society repeated once again the need for a mobility by choice and not by coercion<\/strong>, together with the independence of workers and permits from employers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

On this year\u2019s core objective of establishing partnerships, Onyekachi stated that they \u201crequire compromise, flexibility and fairness and need to treat partners\u2019 concerns as equal\u201d.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

During the closing plenary, uplifting again the collective voices of European civil society from pre-consultation preparatory sessions, Onyekachi called for \u201cstructured and meaningful dialogue spaces with civil society<\/strong> in all stages of policy developments and implementation, that are essential to progress\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
