On 11th June 2021, the European Commission launched the EU Talent Partnerships as part of the EU Pact on Migration and Asylum. The aim of the initiative is to address skills shortages in EU labour markets and promote legal pathways, while strengthening migration partnerships with third countries.

This briefing paper unpacks the initial proposal with respect to the EU international cooperation framework, and assesses it in terms of labour migration policy and social rights. At the end, SOLIDAR gives a set of recommendations for the upcoming policy and funding framework.
