N2 - The immigrants in the old EU Member States and ethnic minorities, in particular the Roma in the new EU Member States, face various risks of labour market and social exclusion many of which are of the same kind for the two groups. Coping with them presents rather important challenges to national governments. We look at labour market and social exclusion risks of immigrants and Roma, who are a key ethnic minority in the European Union, present an overview of latest immigration or minority policies, and describe and comment on some ongoing debates on the topic. Old emigration countries such as Spain and Finland have lately turned into immigration countries. However, the historical backgrounds and political responses in these countries are rather different, the main background factor bearing an influence on the responses is the volume of the phenomenon: today Spain is the leading immigration country in the European Union and the main entry into the EU for third country nationals, while in Finland the shift is much less dramatic. Hungary, Slovakia and Romania have all major Roma minorities, whose volume is somewhat controversial and who are disadvantaged in education and on the labour market; they show a strong benefit dependency, still, many of them live in extreme destitution in these countries.
