Subject: Notification of Award Decision taken

Ref.: HOME/2022/AMIF/AG/EMAS/TF1/EE/0010

Dear Sir,

I am pleased to inform you that the above-mentioned application has been positively evaluated on

the basis of the award criteria established in the work programmes and financing decisions for

emergency assistance within the framework of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF).

The maximum amount of EU contribution awarded under the AMIF is EUR 10 100 000, and the co-

financing rate is 100%.

The emergency assistance will focus on first reception needs, and support Member States’ efforts

under the Temporary Protection Decision of 4 March 2022 for the initial processing and registration

activities and referral of persons to specialised support services. The use of the Union contribution in

the form of financing not linked to costs should facilitate and accelerate the provision of funds in a

situation where real actual costs might fluctuate greatly, and should minimise administrative burden

for the Member States.

The EMAS Evaluation Committee suggested that, in general, some technical aspects relating to the

means of verification proposed by the Member States could be verified as part of the grant

preparation to ensure that they follow the logic of the decision. This will be followed up by contacts

between our services at technical level.

Please note that the present letter does not represent any commitment on the part of the Commission

that could constitute ground to any claims concerning the signature of a grant agreement. The

Commission may, until the agreement is signed by both parties, either abandon or cancel the

procedure without this entitling you to any compensation.

Yours sincerely,

Beate GMINDER
