The Director

Brussels HOME.E.1/AV

Dear Ms PALLAS,

The basic acts for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)1, the Instrument

for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy (BMVI)2 and the Internal

Security Fund (ISF)3 for the programming period 2021-2027 entered into force on 15

July 2021.

In that context, we may now confirm that the initial allocations for the AMIF and the ISF

communicated to you by letter of 21 April 2021 as indicative amounts remain unchanged

and should be applied in the formal programming phase as a basis for your programmes.

For good order, the amounts are included in Annex A. The initial allocations for the

BMVI will be provided to you in a separate communication.

The allocation criteria for the AMIF comprise data for the years 2017, 2018 and 2019,

while the allocation criteria for the ISF comprise data only for 2019 or the latest data

(size of the territory from 2016). Annex B provides a comprehensive overview of the data

sources used for the indication of the allocations.

The Commission will be in a position to adopt Implementing Decisions setting out these

initial allocations for Member States’ AMIF and ISF programmes after receiving the

outstanding formal notifications from one Member State, which to date has only

informally expressed their interest in joining the AMIF.

If you have any questions or comments, then please address these to the e-mail address:
