THIS PAPER AIMS TO EVALUATE THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EXTERNAL MIGRATION, HAVING AS TARGET THE EU, AND THE SECURITY ISSUES THAT IT GENERATES. IN THE FIRST PART OF THE PAPER WE TRY TO PRESENT THE MIGRATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF OPPORTUNITY THAT IT REPRESENTS, IN ORDER TO SOLVE TWO MAJOR DEMOGRAPHIC PROBLEMS OF THE UNION: NEGATIVE NATURAL GROWTH AND AGING POPULATION. IN THE SECOND PART IS EXPOSED THE MANNER IN WHICH MIGRATION CAN BE CONSIDER A RISK FACTOR TO THE EUROPEAN SECURITY. TO HIGHLIGHT THIS DILEMMA: MIGRATION - OPPORTUNITY / MIGRATION - VULNERABILITY, THE AUTHOR PRESENTS A SWOT ANALYSIS OF ALL THESE ISSUES. THE CONCLUSION OF THE AUTHOR POINTS OUT THE FACT THAT MIGRATION IS THE ONLY MEANS BY WHICH THE EU CAN SOLVE THE PROBLEM OF THE DEMOGRAPHIC DEFICIT (IN THE MEDIUM TERM) AND THE AGING POPULATION.
