This paper analyses the evolution of the target group and objectives of the European Commission’s enterprise/entrepreneurship policy since the end of the 1970s, with particular attention to the promotion of migrant entrepreneurship. Secondly, it explores the tools available at the EU-level to promote migrant entrepreneurship and the limitations of this policy. Following a study of academic and EU sources, the research shows that the EC’s enterprise/entrepreneurship policy evolved from primarily targeting larger companies, into a policy with extra interest for SMEs and finally the whole society, including migrants. Promotion of migrant entrepreneurship is i.a. limited by the principle of subsidiarity

Öz

Bu makale; 1970’lerin sonlarından bu yana Avrupa Komisyonu’nun girişim/ girişimcilik politikasının hedef kitle ve amaçlarındaki gelişimi göçme girişimciliği odaklı olarak incelemektedir. İkinci olarak, makale kapsamında Avrupa Birliği AB düzeyinde göçmen girişimciliğini teşvik etmek için kullanılan araçları ve göçmen politikasının sınırlarını araştırmaktadır. İlgili literatürün ve AB tarafından sunulan kaynakların araştırılması sonucu Avrupa Komisyonu’nun AB girişimcilik politikasının büyük ölçekli şirketleri hedefleyen bir politika yürütürken, KOBİ’ler ve ardından tüm toplum odaklı ve göçmenleri de kapsayıcı bir politika olarak gelişmeye başladığı gözlemlenmektedir. AB göçmen girişimcilik politikası yetki devri prensibi ile sınırlanmaktadır.
