(1) When a migrant for employment has been regularly admitted to the territory of a Member, the said Member should, as far as possible, refrain
from removing such person or the members of his family from its territory on account of his lack of means or the state of the employment market,
unless an agreement to this effect has been concluded between the competent authorities of the emigration and immigration territories concerned.
(2) Any such agreement should provide-(a) that the length of time the said migrant has been in the territory of immigration shall be taken into account and that in principle no
migrant shall be removed who has been there for more than five years;
(b) that the migrant must have exhausted his rights to unemployment insurance benefit;
(c) that the migrant must have been given reasonable notice so as to give him time, more particularly to dispose of his property;
(d) that suitable arrangements shall have been made for his transport and that of the members of his family;
(e) that the necessary arrangements shall have been made to ensure that he and the members of his family are treated in a humane manner;
and
(f) that the costs of the return of the migrant and the members of his family and of the transport of their household belongings to their final
destination shall not fall on him.
19. Appropriate steps should be taken by the authorities of the territories concerned to consult the employers' and workers' organisations concerning
the operations of recruitment, introduction and placing of migrants for employment.
VII
20. When migrants for employment or members of their families who have retained the nationality of their State of origin return there, that country
should admit such persons to the benefit of any measures in force for the granting of poor relief and unemployment relief, and for promoting the reemployment of the unemployed, by exempting them from the obligation to comply with any condition as to previous residence or employment in the
country or place.

21.

in the Recommendation.
(2) In concluding such agreements, Members should take into account the provisions of the Model Agreement annexed to the present
Recommendation in framing appropriate clauses for the organisation of migration for employment and the regulation of the conditions of transfer
and employment of migrants, including refugees and displaced persons.
