The Draft National Plan against racism 2011-2014  (that has not been adopted yet) lays down the principles of the strategy on the integration of migrants.

Additionally, the General Secretariat to immigration and integration (Ministry of Interior) which was founded in 2007 is charged with supporting newcomers (third country nationals) for the first five years of their stay in France. For the implementation of this policy the Ministry of Interior relies on the French Office for Immigration and Integration.

In France, there is no action plan for the integration of third-country nationals, but in the National Action Plan against Racism and Anti-Semitism, there is a chapter dedicated to integration.
Qualitative Info

In France, there is no action plan for the integration of third-country nationals, but in the National Action Plan against Racism and Anti-Semitism, there is a chapter dedicated to integration [1].

Additionally, the General Secretariat to immigration and integration (Ministry of Interior) which was founded in 2007 is charged with supporting newcomers (third country nationals) for the first five years of their stay in France. For the implementation of this policy the Ministry of Interior relies on the French Office for Immigration and Integration. The central element of this policy is the reception and integration contract (CAEI – contrat d’accueil et d’intégration), which has been compulsory since 1 January 2007 [2].
