Summary/Abstract: In the light of current migration crisis, the biggest emphasis is presently put on the asylum policy. The hostile attitude or even reluctance of the European societies towards immigrants make the debate on immigration policy even more complex and though. In this context, it is not easy to convince the Europeans of the advantages coming from legal migration. Nevertheless, from over two decades the EU institutions, especially the European Commission, have been supporting the need for effective cooperation with third countries in the field of migration. That is why the concept of Mobility Partnerships has been introduced within the EU immigration policy. The aim of this article is to present and evaluate the impact of existing declarations signed between certain Member States and third countries on legal migration and analyse their influence on the inflow of foreigners to the EU.
