Title: Post-Enlargement Migration and the Great Recession in the E(M)U: Lessons and 
	 policy implications 
Abstract: This paper summarises key results from our research about  
	 post-enlargement mobility in the EU. We clarify its scope, composition 
	 and effects; labour market situation of mobile workers; the role of 
	 labour mobility as a vehicle of economic stabilisation; as well as brain 
	 circulation and return migration. We also outline a policy agenda for a 
	 labour mobility model for a vibrant EU, enabling Europe to cope with 
	 labour market imbalances and asymmetric economic shocks, and providing 
	 for a more prosperous, cohesive and equal EU.
Keywords: EU enlargement, free movement of workers, labour mobility, migration policy,
	 business cycle, stabilisation
