Art. 1Objectives of the agreement *

During the last years, irregular and even more asylum-oriented South-North flows of people have increased

and have been exacerbated by recently emerging East-West flows. Although fully necessary, national entry

control measures do not suffice to keep the extent and composition of immigration flows at levels which

correspond to the wishes of parties. Hence, the elaboration and implementation of long-term strategies to

cope with the migration phenomenon have to be given priority. Such strategies aim at facilitating early

warning, combatting root causes, harmonizing entry control measures and coordinating aliens, asylum and

refugee policies.

The agreement aims at promoting international co-operation in the area of migration policies as well as

relevant research in these areas.

Art. 2 International Centre for Migration Policy Development

(1) The Contracting Parties establish the International Centre for Migration Policy Development (ICMPD),

with headquarters in Vienna, as an international organization. The ICMPD will analyse current and potential

migratory flows to European receiving countries, follow and examine the situation in the major countries of

origin of migrants and develop measures for the improved recognition and control of migratory movements.

(2) The above international organization is a legal personality.

(3) The legal personality, privileges and immunities of ICMPD in the Republic of Austria will be regulated

by the Republic of Austria.
