【 摘 要 】

During 2005, several events took place on the external borders of the European Union that caught the attention of the media and brought management and control of these borders onto the EU political agenda. Having acknowledged that a global approach to migrations is required, the EU has stated the need for its immigration policy to possessa coherent external affairs dimension, and recognises that both the Mediterranean and Africa have become priority regions. In December 2005, and in the Conclusions of the Presidency of the Council of Brussels, the Union acknowledged the growing importance of the phenomenon of migration within its territory, and highlighted the need to find an approach that would signify, at the very minimum, increased dialogue and cooperation with the African nations and with all the countries within the Mediterranean space. To this end,the Euro-African Conference on Migrations and Development, held in Rabat in 2006, was the first and the most visible gesture toward a consolidation of the acknowledgment that the management of migration flows requires the participation of the countries of origin, transitand destination; that is to say, the countries of Europe, North Africa and the sub-Saharan region. The aim of this article is to reflect on the role that Spain has played in the political organisation of the Euro-African migrations scenario.
