Although the movements of persons into, out of and within
each EU State vary, each society shares similar migration challenges and
opportunities. The EU is an area without internal borders, therefore migration
bears great significance. MEPs voted on 6 February to increase EU money to help these countries
cope with migration flows. Overcrowded refugee
centres lacking even basic supplies have become a more frequent sight in many
EU border-states in the wake of the crisis. The European
Parliament adopted crucial proposals that enable an increased co-financing rate
for Member States subject to financial support on actions concerning the
management of migration flows (European Refugee Fund, the European Return Fund
and the European Fund for the Integration of Third-Country Nationals and
External Borders Fund).
The proposal:
·
Covers
4 funds making up "Solidarity and management of migratory flows"
framework: European Refugee Fund, European Return Fund, European Fund for
Integration of third-country nationals and External Borders Fund.
·
Increased
co-financing of the migration-related funds for member states included in the
financial support mechanisms.
·
Co-financing
(part financed by the EU) to increase 20 percentage points to 70%. For
countries covered by the cohesion fund the increased rate would be maximum 95%.
