""Migration is a challenge shared between the Member States and the European Union (...). Some matters remain the responsibility of the Member States and, at the same time, that responsibility means that each Member State must ensure that its decisions do not have negative consequences in other parts of the European Union. This is a general principle of our Union,""
"The European Commissioner for Migration, Magnus Brunner, warned recently that "a residence permit is not a blank cheque" and that Spain must "ensure" that its decision to regularise more than half a million people does not have "negative consequences" on the rest of the bloc."
Spain's leftist government proposed granting one-year residency permits to over 500,000 undocumented migrants, provoking domestic controversy and drawing attention from Washington and European institutions. European Commissioner for Migration Magnus Brunner cautioned that "a residence permit is not a blank cheque" and urged Spain to ensure the regularisation does not create "negative consequences" for other member states. The one-year permit will not confer residency or employment rights in other EU countries. Officials flagged potential implications for the Schengen area and stressed that migration is a shared challenge among member states. Similar mass regularisations have occurred in the EU more than forty times.
