Abstract: Beside the free movement of capital, goods and services, the right to free movement is an essential part of the single European market. A genuine European labour market implies the free movement of all workers, including those who are not EU citizens. The paper explores the background and the current state of the EU common migration policy towards non-EU citizens. The paper deals with two dimensions of migration policies - admission and mobility within the EU area. The aim of the paper is to answer the question whether a common labour market can be considered accomplished while the conditions of entry and mobility for third-country nationals substantially lack convergence. The analysis of the legislation and statistical data shows that third-country nationals are not part of the European labour market as such.
