Subject: Mid-Term Review allocations to your BMVI and ISF Programmes

Dear Mr Miilits,

Article 17(2) of the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) Regulation (1),

Article 14(2) of the Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI) Regulation (2) and

Article 14(2) of the Internal Security Fund (ISF) Regulation (3) establish the condition

under which an AMIF, BMVI or ISF programme, respectively, can qualify for the

additional mid-term review allocations referred to in point (b) of Article 13(1) of the AMIF

Regulation, point (b) of Article 10(1) of the BMVI Regulation and point (b) of Article

10(1) of the ISF Regulation, respectively.

The Commission has carried out an assessment of the fulfilment of such condition in

relation to your AMIF, BMVI and ISF programmes. You can find in Annex 1 of this letter

the additional indicative mid-term review allocations to those programmes for which your

Member State has qualified. Those allocations have been established based on the criteria

and the reference years set out in Annex I of the AMIF, BMVI and ISF Regulations. They

are attributed to the years 2025, 2026 and 2027 and are intended to be formally adopted

soon through a Commission Adopting Decision.

Where applicable, your AMIF, BMVI and ISF programmes will have to be amended to

integrate the respective mid-term allocations. The Commission is in parallel intending to

allocate funding from the AMIF and BMVI Thematic Facilities to Member States, to

support their efforts in implementing the Pact on migration and asylum and hosting

displaced persons from Ukraine. To minimise the administrative and procedural burden,

we envisage to combine the programming of these amounts with the programming of the

mid-term allocations for which you qualify, i.e., to cover both within one single

(1) Regulation (EU) 2021/1147 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2021, establishing

the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund.

(2) Regulation (EU) 2021/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2021, establishing,

as part of the Integrated Border Management Fund, the Instrument for Financial Support for Border

Management and Visa Policy.

(3) Regulation (EU) 2021/1149 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 7 July 2021, establishing

the Internal Security Fund.

amendment. We will shortly liaise with you to provide further information on the technical

details and procedural aspects of this process.

The responsible desk officer is available should any clarifications be required.

Yours sincerely,

Silvia MICHELINI
