establishing the Union support for asylum, migration and integration for the period

from 2028 to 2034

EN 2 EN

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1. CONTEXT OF THE PROPOSAL

• Reasons and objectives

The Commission Political Guidelines 2024-2029 emphasise that migration is a European

challenge that must be met with a European solution. Europe’s geopolitical context has

significantly changed, profoundly affecting the Union’s migration and asylum management,

which has been further impacted by the weaponisation of migration. Member States need to

be able to rapidly and effectively respond to developments of migratory flows and receive

Union support for that purpose.

With the adoption of the Pact on Migration and Asylum (the ‘Pact’) the Union has made a

significant progress toward a comprehensive approach to asylum, migration and border

management, including its external dimension. The Pact sets up a system governed by the

principle of solidarity and the fair sharing of responsibility, including its financial

implications, between the Member States. The success of the new system created by the Pact

relies on the readiness of all Member States – with the actions of one having implications for

all. The Pact implementation has to be manageable for everyone and be managed together.

The Pact requires Member States to develop National Implementation Plans based on the

Common Implementation Plan of the Commission. It is clear from those plans that significant

financial resources will be needed in the years ahead. Member States need to make the

necessary reforms to ensure national systems are efficient and fit-for-purpose in line with the

Pact obligations and that the European system created by the Pact functions as it should.

This also implies providing adequate EU funds to support its implementation. In addition to

the immediate needs that will be funded under the current Multiannual Financial Framework

2021-2027, Member States will need to continue investing and improving their systems. For

example, every three years the Commission will reassess the ‘adequate capacity’ obligations

of Member States for the implementation of the border procedure. This reassessment may

require that Member States make further investments to fulfil their obligations.

Furthermore, the need to develop national integrated case management systems bringing

together asylum, reception, and return has been identified by the Commission as a key priority

in almost all Member States. The significant changes required in many Member States to

build these integrated systems and embrace the digitalisation agenda will require significant

investments in the medium-to-long term. This digitalisation, including the evolution of the

artificial intelligence-based (AI) technology, is also a key component for simplifying and

increasing the efficiency of the system which could eventually lead to the creation of

European case-management systems.

While it should be supported mostly through the Regulation (EU) […] [Global Europe], the

external dimension and innovative solutions to migration and asylum management would

continue in the years to come to play an important part in the EU response. Member States

and the EU should also have certain margin to be able to support specific activities in third

countries.

Finally, the Pact obligations have created significant needs in terms of personnel, including

case workers, legal advisers, monitors for fundamental rights, representatives for

EN 3 EN

unaccompanied minors, vulnerability experts and so on, as well as new obligations regarding

reception with significant running costs. These are key components that ensure the European

system works in practice. Systemic failures in these areas in one Member State impact all

Member States. It is thus fundamental that the EU supports Member States in this endeavour.

Furthermore, Member States’ needs will have to be reassessed regularly based on the

evaluation of the migratory situation. The ultimate objective is to ensure that all Member State

will continuously have a ‘well-prepared system’.

The scope of the Union support should be coherent with the policy priorities and flexible, so

to allow for new developments to be taken into account. Building on the results and

investments in the areas of asylum and migration from the previous programming periods,

this proposal provides the necessary Union support to achieve the objectives of the

comprehensive approach to migration and asylum. It also offers support for legal migration

and early integration of third-country nationals as well as horizontal measures supporting

Member States’ capacities in the field of integration.

Furthermore, Union support should be available for the new common approach and legislative

framework proposed by the Commission1 with swifter, simpler and more effective return

procedures across the EU and innovative solutions for migration management. This new legal

framework for returns constitutes a key piece to complement the Pact on Migration and

Asylum.

The proposal aims to address the need for greater flexibility in the management of the Union

support, including a stronger performance orientation, as well as enhanced simplification for

all actors involved in its implementation. For this, strict complementarity is enforced with the

proposal for a Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and

territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security,

introducing new mechanisms for the allocation of funding for shared, direct and indirect

management. As challenges in the area of migration and asylum are constantly evolving, there

is also a need to respond to pressing needs and changes in policy and Union priorities, and to

steer funding towards actions with a high level of Union added value, in particular through an

EU Facility offering flexibility in the management of the Union support.

The present proposal, together with the proposal for a Regulation (EU) […] establishing the

Union support for the Schengen area, for European integrated border management and for the

common policy on visas and the proposal for a Regulation (EU) […] establishing the Union

Support for internal security, provide the specific legal framework for the Union action in the

areas of efficient management of migration and asylum, European integrated border

management at the external borders, well-functioning Schengen area and European visa

policy, and internal security. The rules regulating the participation of some Member States of

the European Union to the rules established in accordance with Title V of Part Three TFEU

(see variable geometry section) justify the need to have three specific instruments to provide

support in these areas. These three Regulations complement each other and the proposal for

Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial

cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security, through which

they will be implemented.

1 COM (2025) 101 final. Proposal for a Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council

establishing a common system for the return of third-country nationals staying illegally in the Union,

and repealing Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and the Council, Council Directive

2001/40/EC and Council Decision 2004/191/EC

EN 4 EN

The proposed Regulation builds on Regulation (EU) 2021/11472, while taking into account

new policy developments and the need to provide an agile response to evolving migration and

asylum challenges both within the EU and in cooperation with other countries.

• Consistency with existing policy provisions

The Union support for asylum, migration and integration will work in complementarity with

the other policies under the scope of the proposal for establishing the European Fund for

economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime,

prosperity and security, thus fostering synergies between these policies. However, a strong

and comprehensive EU policy on migration and asylum needs action across the full spectrum

of the tools at its disposal, including activities of relevant Union decentralised agencies.

The six Home Affairs decentralised Agencies (Frontex, Europol, EUAA, eu-LISA, EUDA

and Cepol) play an important and increasing role in the implementation of the Home Affairs

policies. It is essential to ensure coherence between policy strategies set out at EU level and

the operational activities of the decentralised agencies, thereby also maximising the

contribution to the EU policy objectives from the EU funding provided to the decentralised

agencies. The operational role of the decentralised agencies may require further strengthening,

accompanied by corresponding increase of funding.

• Consistency with other Union policies

Union migration policy relies on the synergies and coherence with relevant EU policies such

as border management, internal security, and the social inclusion and integration of third-

country nationals. In addition, consistency and complementarity will also be ensured with the

Union external policies supporting third countries through Regulation (EU) […] [Global

Europe] in a wide range of areas with important links to internal policies, including migration

and asylum, which should ensure an increased coherence with the Union’s support for

cooperation on migration with partner countries, contributing to a coordinated, holistic and

structured approach to migration, maximising synergies and increasing leverage. In this

context, the synergies between the support to cross-border cooperation under Global Europe

and the one that can be provided under this Regulation are particularly relevant for enhancing

border management and pursuing efforts to prevent irregular migration. To promote those

synergies, enhanced coordination and consistency should be sought between policy priorities

and EU spending towards third countries.

This proposal is also consistent with the priorities set out in the Union of Skills’ external

strand on attracting and retaining skills from third countries, including the future legal

gateway offices, which can be supported by initiatives such as the EU Talent Pool and the

Talent Partnerships. To support the competitiveness agenda, investments based on innovative

methods or new technologies, including measures aiming to test and validate the outcome of

Union-funded research projects should also be considered.

2. LEGAL BASIS, SUBSIDIARITY AND PROPORTIONALITY

• Legal basis

Article 3(2) of the Treaty on European Union provides that ‘the Union shall offer its citizens

an area of freedom, security and justice without internal frontiers, in which the free movement

of persons is ensured in conjunction with appropriate measures with respect to external border

2

EN 5 EN

controls, asylum, immigration and the prevention and combating of crime’. The legal basis for

this proposal can be found in Article 78(2) as well as in Article 79(2) and Article 79(4) of the

Treaty on the Functioning of the Union (TFEU).

• Variable geometry

This Regulation is based on legal bases under Title V of Part Three TFEU, concerning the

area of freedom, security and justice. As a consequence, the application of the Regulation to

Denmark and Ireland is subject to special provisions laid down in Protocol No 21 and

Protocol No 22 annexed to the TEU and the TFEU.

In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 22, Denmark does not take part in the

adoption by the Council of measures proposed pursuant to Title V of Part Three TFEU, and

such measures are not binding upon or applicable in Denmark.

In accordance with Articles 1 and 2 of Protocol No 21, Ireland does not take part in the

adoption by the Council of measures proposed pursuant to Title V of Part Three TFEU, and

such measures are not binding on or applicable in Ireland. However, Ireland may choose to

take part in the adoption and application of any such proposed measure. In addition, anytime

after the adoption of such a measure, Ireland may accept the measure, subject to the

completion of procedures referred to in Article 4 of Protocol No 21.

• Subsidiarity (for non-exclusive competence)

The objectives of the proposal cannot be achieved by Member States acting alone, as the

challenges are of a cross-border nature, and not limited to single Member States or to a subset

of Member States. Union support creates added value by promoting a common approach

across Member States when implementing EU acquis and standards and fostering

collaboration between Member States on transnational issues.

• Proportionality

The proposal does not go beyond what is necessary to achieve the objectives mentioned under

section 1. It falls within the scope for action in the area of freedom, security and justice, as

defined in Title V of Part Three TFEU. The objectives and corresponding Union support are

proportionate to what the instrument aims to achieve.

• Choice of the instrument

The most appropriate instrument for operating the current proposal is a Regulation of the

European Parliament and the Council establishing the Union support for asylum, migration

and integration for the period from 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2034, complementing the

proposal for Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and

territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security.

3. RESULTS OF RETROSPECTIVE EVALUATIONS, STAKEHOLDER

CONSULTATIONS AND IMPACT ASSESSMENTS

• Retrospective evaluations/fitness checks of existing legislation

The preliminary outcomes of the ongoing ex-post evaluation of the Asylum, Migration and

Integration Fund (AMIF) for the 2014-2020 programming period confirm that the AMIF

contributed to the objectives intended by the Fund to a variable extent. Stakeholders perceived

the administrative burden as proportionate to the benefits and similar to other EU Funds, but

less proportionate in comparison to national funds. The introduction of simplified cost options

was viewed positively, although their use was relatively limited. The AMIF demonstrated

EN 6 EN

good coherence with the European Social Fund, which according to stakeholders could be

further reinforced. The AMIF strongly contributed to the introduction of new services, the

ability to reach a broader audience and the expansion of services and innovation. Overall, the

ex-post evaluation underlines the need to enhance simplification in the implementation of the

fund, notably by reducing reporting requirements and expanding the use of simplified cost

options. The evaluation also pleads for reducing rigidities in the management of the budget,

including by introducing more flexible budgeting mechanisms easing cross-fertilisation

between different objectives and decreasing the number of programmes’ modifications.

The preliminary outcomes of the mid-term evaluation of the AMIF for the 2021-2027

programming period confirm that the monitoring and evaluation framework for AMIF has

significantly improved compared to the 2014-2020 programming period. Simplified cost

options and flat-rate technical assistance have contributed to reducing administrative burden,

yet the implementation of simplified cost options is still relatively limited. The AMIF

demonstrates strong coherence with the programming of other EU Funds, particularly the

European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), the Instrument for financial support for Border

Management and Visa Policy (BMVI) and the European Regional Development Fund

(ERDF). The mid-term evaluation broadly confirms the conclusions of the ex-post evaluation

concerning the need for more simplification and flexibility in the management of the

programmes and projects, to adapt quickly to the impact of external factors. The mid-term

evaluation underlines the need to reinforce the links and coordination with the other Union

Funds, especially in view of the implementation of the Pact on Migration and Asylum. This

could also help national authorities to better cover relevant needs through a more coordinated

programming of the Union Funds.

• Stakeholder consultations

The Commission actively engaged with the stakeholders in the process of the initiative,

notably through dedicated events and public consultation activities, as detailed in the

corresponding chapter of the explanatory memorandum of the proposal for a Regulation (EU)

[…] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture

and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security.

• External expertise

Information about the Commission’s use of external expertise is provided in the

corresponding chapter of the explanatory memorandum of the proposal for a Regulation (EU)

[…] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture

and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security.

• Impact assessment

Information about the Commission’s Impact Assessment is provided in the corresponding

chapter of the explanatory memorandum of the proposal for a Regulation (EU) […]

establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and

rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security.

• Simplification

The initiative is expected to contribute to a significant reduction of administrative burden and

costs, as well as improved efficiency in the implementation of Union support, see also the

corresponding chapter of the explanatory memorandum of the proposal for a Regulation (EU)

[…] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture

and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security.

EN 7 EN

• Fundamental rights

The Union support will be implemented in compliance with the Charter of Fundamental

Rights of the European Union and the principle of the rule of law, as set out in Article 2(a) of

Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2092, see also the corresponding section in the Explanatory

Memorandum accompanying the Commission proposal for the proposal for a Regulation (EU)

[…] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture

and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security.

4. BUDGETARY IMPLICATIONS

The indicative financial envelope for the implementation of the objectives under the Union

support is set at EUR 11 975 428 500 for the period from 2028 to 2034 in current prices. It

shall be implemented in compliance with the horizontal rules for the National and Regional

Partnership Plans laid down in Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for

economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime,

prosperity and security.

5. OTHER ELEMENTS

• Implementation plans and monitoring, evaluation and reporting arrangements

The Union support under this proposal will be implemented through shared management by

the Member States and direct and indirect management by the Commission. The

implementation of the Union support will be monitored through the performance framework

applicable for the 2028-2034 multiannual financial framework set out in the proposal for a

Regulation (EU) […] establishing a budget expenditure tracking and performance framework

and other horizontal rules of the Union programmes and activities.

• Detailed explanation of the specific provisions of the proposal

The proposed Regulation defines in Article 1 the scope of the Union support for the Asylum,

Migration and Integration for the period from 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2034. For this,

essential definitions are given in Article 2, and four objectives are set out in Article 3, which

will be achieved through Union support under the horizontal rules of the European Fund for

economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime,

prosperity and security established by Regulation (EU) […]. These objectives refer to the

areas of the Common European Asylum System; return and readmission of irregular migrants,

including their reintegration in third countries and countering irregular migration; legal

migration and early integration and social inclusion of third-country nationals; solidarity and

fair sharing of responsibility between the Member States.

In Article 4 the proposal lays down provisions for the financing of the Union support

To foster the implementation of the Union acquis and to support efforts to ensure a

comprehensive approach to the management of migration grounded on mutual trust, solidarity

and fair sharing of responsibility between Member States, the proposed Regulation also sets

out the rules for the budgetary treatment of the resources for resettlement and humanitarian

admission (Article 5), the resources for the transfer of applicants for international protection

or of beneficiaries of international protection (Article 6), and the financial contributions from

EN 8 EN

Member States for the purpose of the Annual Solidarity Pool established by Regulation (EU)

2024/1351 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 May 20243 (Article 9).

Article 7 defines the necessary conditions to be fulfilled by third countries to be associated to

the Union support provided under this proposal. Article 8 covers the funding of the European

Migration Network set up by Council Decision 2008/381/EC4 in accordance with its

objectives and tasks. Article 10 lays down transitional provisions. The date of the entry into

force of the proposed Regulation is set in Article 11, and it is stipulated that the Regulation

will be binding in its entirety and directly applicable in all Member States in accordance with

the Treaties from 1 January 2028.

3 Regulation (EU) 2024/1351 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 May 2024 on asylum

and migration management, amending Regulations (EU) 2021/1147 and (EU) 2021/1060 and repealing

Regulation (EU) No 604/2013. 4 2008/381/EC: Council Decision of 14 May 2008 establishing a European Migration Network.

Proposal for a

REGULATION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

establishing the Union support for asylum, migration and integration for the period

from 2028 to 2034

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular

Articles 78(2) and Article 79(2) and (4) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,

Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee5,

After consulting the Committee of the Regions,

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure6,

Whereas:

(1) The purpose of this Regulation is to contribute to the Union’s objective of constituting

an area of freedom, security and justice in accordance with the Treaty on the

Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) through provision of Union support for

the development of a common policy on asylum, subsidiary protection and temporary

protection with a view to offering appropriate status to any third-country national

requiring international protection and ensuring compliance with the principle of non-

refoulement in accordance with Article 77 TFEU, and a common immigration policy

aimed at ensuring, at all stages, the efficient management of migration flows, fair

treatment of third-country nationals residing legally in Member States, and the

prevention of, and enhanced measures to combat, illegal immigration and trafficking

in human beings in accordance with Article 79 TFEU.

(2) The entry into force of the Pact on Migration and Asylum in June 2024 has reshaped

the Union’s asylum and migration policy. To foster the implementation of the Pact and

to support efforts to ensure a comprehensive approach to the management of migration

that is grounded on solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility between Member

States, Union institutions and agencies, Member States should be supported by

adequate financial resources. This Union support will be provided under the horizontal

rules of the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture

and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security established by Regulation

(EU) […].

(3) This Regulation lays down the objectives of the Union support on asylum, migration

and integration policy. Member States should ensure that their National and Regional

Partnership Plans address each of the objectives set out by this Regulation.

(4) The amounts to be allocated per Member State should be set out by the Commission in

accordance with the allocation methodology laid down in Regulation (EU) […]

establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion,

agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security through a single

implementing decision. That decision should as a rule also cover the amounts under

the Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and

territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and

security, the Regulation (EU) […] establishing the Union support for the Schengen

area, for European integrated border management and for the common policy on visas

and the Regulation (EU) […] establishing the Union Support for internal security.

(5) The Union support should build on the results and investments in the areas of asylum

and migration from the previous programming periods: (i) the European Refugee Fund

established by Decision No 573/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the

Council7 for the period 2008-2013; (ii) the European Fund for the Integration of third-

country nationals established by Council Decision 2007/435/EC8 for the period 2007-

2013; (iii) the European Return Fund established by Decision No 575/2007/EC of the

European Parliament and of the Council9 for the period 2008-2013; (iv) the Asylum,

Migration and Integration Fund established by Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 of the

European Parliament and of the Council10 for the period 2014-2020, and (v) the

Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund for the period 2021-2027, established by

Regulation (EU) 2021/1147 of the European Parliament and of the Council11. The

scope of the Union support should also allow for new developments to be taken into

account.

(6) Europe’s geopolitical context has significantly changed, profoundly affecting the

Union’s migration management, also due to the role of State actors in artificially

creating and facilitating irregular migration, instrumentalising migratory flows as a

tool for political purposes, and to the use of hybrid warfare tactics, such as the

7 Decision No 573/2007/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 23 May 2007 establishing

the European Refugee Fund for the period 2008 to 2013 as part of the General programme ‘Solidarity

and Management of Migration Flows’ and repealing Council Decision 2004/904/EC (OJ L 144,

weaponisation of migration12, to destabilise the European Union and its Member

States. Member States need to be able to rapidly and effectively respond to

developments of migratory flows and receive Union support for that purpose. To

respond to these European challenges, the allocation of Union support should reflect

the Union’s priorities. Therefore, the Union support implemented under the rules

governing the Member States National and Regional Partnership Plans should

contribute to effectively addressing the challenges identified in the context of the long-

term European Asylum and Migration Management Strategy and the annual migration

management cycle established in accordance with Regulation (EU) 2024/1351 of the

European Parliament and of the Council of 14 May 202413, including the annual

solidarity mechanism and the Union Resettlement and Humanitarian Admission

Framework.

This Union support under this Regulation should finance measures tailored to the

needs of third-country nationals that are generally implemented in the early stages of

integration, as well as horizontal measures supporting Member States’ capacities in

the field of integration, whereas interventions for third-country nationals with a

longer-term impact should be pursued under other Union supports.

(7) As challenges in the area of migration and asylum are constantly evolving, there is a

need to adapt the allocation of the Union support under this Regulation to the changes

in migration flows and asylum. To respond to pressing needs and changes in policy

and Union priorities, and to steer funding towards actions with a high level of Union

added value, part of the Union support under this Regulation should be implemented

in direct, shared and indirect management via the EU Facility established pursuant to

Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and

territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and

security. The EU Facility offers flexibility in the management of the Union support,

and, for shared management, it should be implemented through the Member States’

National and Regional Partnership Plans.

(8) The Commission and the Member States should ensure that the knowledge, expertise

and experience of relevant Union bodies, offices and agencies are taken into account

in the development of Member States’ National and Regional Plans and when

implementing measures or addressing challenges in relation to migration management,

border control and management and internal security. Where appropriate, the

Commission should also be able to involve the relevant Union bodies, offices and

agencies in activities aiming to ensure that the measures supported by the Union

support comply with the relevant Union acquis and agreed Union priorities.

(9) The Union support should also contribute to the implementation of temporary

protection in relation to Council Directive 2001/55/EC14 in the event of a mass influx

hybrid threats from the weaponisation of migration and strengthening security at the EU’s external

of displaced persons, including of temporary protection introduced and extended by

past Council decisions, and the implementation of measures to promote a balance of

efforts between the Member States hosting such persons.

(10) The Member States should build on the principle of partnership in the implementation

of the Union support to ensure continuity in the governance approach.

(11) The Union support should contribute to ensuring consistency, coherence, synergies

and complementarities between the Union’s internal and external policies. An

increased coherence is needed between migration, asylum, return and external policies

and it is important to ensure that the Union’s external assistance and Union support

under this Regulation contribute to a coordinated, holistic and structured approach to

migration, maximising synergies and increasing leverage. Union support under this

Regulation may also include support to the relevant resources of the EU delegations in

duly justified cases, and be coordinated between the Member States and the

Commission in programming and implementation stages.

(12) Europe must protect its security interests against suppliers which could represent a

persistent security risk due to the potential interference from third countries as well as

their cybersecurity practices. It is therefore necessary to reduce the risk of persisting

dependency on high-risk suppliers in the internal market, as they could have

potentially serious negative impacts on security for users, companies and

authorities across the EU in terms of the integrity of data and services as well as the

availability of service. This exclusion should be based on a proportionate risk

assessment and associated mitigation measures as defined in the Union policies and

laws.

(13) Resettlement and humanitarian admission are safe and legal alternatives to irregular

migration and a tool of European solidarity with countries that are not Member States

and which host large numbers of persons fleeing war or persecution. Resettlement and

humanitarian admission efforts by the Member States undertaken in the framework of

Regulation (EU) 2024/1350 of the European Parliament and of the Council15 should be

supported by appropriate funding from the Union's budget. In view of the specific

nature of the support needed for purposes of resettlement and humanitarian admission

and for the transfer of applicants for international protection or of beneficiaries of

international protection, it is necessary to provide in this Regulation for pre-identified

amounts per unit for such support.

(14) This Regulation should also ensure the continuation of the European Migration

Network set up by Council Decision 2008/381/EC16 in accordance with its objectives

and tasks.

(15) Given that Member States subject to migratory pressure should be able to rely on

Union support, this Regulation should set out the rules in order to make available to

Sisukokkuvõte

16. juulil 2025 tuli Euroopa Komisjon välja määruse ettepanekuga, millega luuakse liidu toetusmehhanism varjupaiga, rände ja lõimumise valdkonnas perioodiks 2028-2034. EL rahastamine võimaldab rakendada 2026. aastal jõustuvat EL rände- ja varjupaigalepet sisemiselt ja väliselt koos kiiremate varjupaigamenetlustega, rangemate normidega kuritarvituste vältimiseks, põhiõiguste järelevalvega ja tõhusama tagasisaatmisega.

Sisejulgeoleku fondide vahendite planeerimine ja kasutuselevõtt on kavandatud nn riigi plaani (national and regional partnership plan, lühidalt NRP) määruse COM(2025)565

2

reeglite kohaselt ning toimub jagatud juhtimine põhimõttel. Riigiplaani (NRP) määruse eesmärk on suurendada ELi rahastuse paindlikkust, lihtsustada fondide kasutamist, vähendada halduskoormust ning tugevdada tulemuspõhisust ja selle kohta kujundab seisukohad Rahandusministeerium. Rändevaldkonna indikatiivne eelarve 2028-2034 eelarveperioodiks on 12 miljardit eurot. Lisanduvad rände peadirektoraadi temaatilised rahastud ja rahastus EL ametitele. Sisevaldkonna fondide jaotusvõtmes on Euroopa Komisjon pakkunud suuremat koefitsienti idapiirile. Eesti rahastus siseturvalisuse fondidest kokku suureneks komisjoni esialgse ettepaneku kohaselt 0,8 miljardi euroni.

Kas EL algatus reguleerib karistusi või haldustrahve? Ei

Kas nähakse ette uue asutuse loomine (järelevalvelised või muud asutused)? Ei

Kas lahenduse rakendamine vajab IT-arendusi? Ei

Eesmärgid

EL eelarve toetus on kavandatud järgmiste eesmärkide elluviimiseks:

(a) Euroopa ühise varjupaigasüsteemi kõigi aspektide tugevdamine ja arendamine;

(b) tagasipöördumise ja tagasivõtmise tõhustamine, tõhusa taasintegreerimise edendamine ja sellele kaasaaitamine kolmandates riikides ning ebaseadusliku rände vastu võitlemisse panustamine, sealhulgas inimsmugeldamise ja inimkaubanduse ennetamine ja nende vastu võitlemine, samuti ebaseadusliku rände instrumentaliseerimise ja relvaks muutmise tõkestamine;

(c) seadusliku rände tugevdamine ja arendamine vastavalt liikmesriikide vajadustele ning kolmandate riikide kodanike tõhusa lõimumise ja sotsiaalse kaasatuse edendamine;

(d) solidaarsuse ja vastutuse õiglase jagamise tagamine liikmesriikide vahel, sealhulgas praktilise koostöö, uuenduslike meetodite ja uute tehnoloogiate kaudu, ning panustamine rände ja varjupaigahalduse sise- ja välismõõtmete terviklikku käsitlusse.

Mõju ja sihtrühm

Fondi eesmärgid ja asjakohased meetmed on seotud peamiselt „Siseturvalisuse arengukava 2021–2030“ (edaspidi STAK) elluviimisega. Integratsiooni erieesmärgil on kõige olulisem seos „Sidusa Eesti arengukavaga 2021–2030“. STAKi kohaselt on Eesti rändepoliitika peamine eesmärk hõlbustada Eestisse sisenemist välismaalastele, kes pakuvad ühiskonnale suurt lisaväärtust ning kelle riigis viibimine on kooskõlas avalike huvide, Euroopa Liidu õiguse ja põhivabadustega. Samuti on vaja ennetada ebaseaduslikku rännet ja korraldada riigis ebaseaduslikult viibivate kolmandate riikide kodanike tagasisaatmist, et tagada avalik kord ja riigi julgeolek. Sidusa Eesti arengukavas

3

pööratakse tähelepanu toetusele, mida vajavad Eestis nii lühikest kui ka pikka aega viibivad sisserändajad, ning toetatakse sihipäraste lõimumis-, sh kohanemismeetmete kaudu nende aktiivset osalemist ühiskonnas ja elukestvat õpet.

Arvestades rände arengusuundi maailmas, sh seoses Ukraina sõjaga tekkinud vajadust sõjapõgenike abistamiseks, on oluline, et Eesti oleks valmis menetlema üha rohkem rahvusvahelise kaitse taotlusi ja tagama rahvusvahelise kaitse saajatele vajalikud vastuvõtutingimused. Seda eelkõige selleks, et katta haavatavate rühmade ning vastuvõtu erivajadustega ja spetsiaalseid menetlustagatisi vajavate isikute vajadused. Oluline on luua eeltingimused rahvusvahelise kaitse saajate esmaseks kohanemiseks ja edasiseks lõimumiseks Eestis.

Kaasamine

Fondi seirekomisjoni koosseisu kuuluvad valdkonna partner- ja katusorganisatsioonid.
