EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM

1.Introduction

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022 led to a mass influx of displaced persons (including many children) from Ukraine to the Union, who require urgent support. In turn, this has put significant pressure on Member States to deal with urgent migration and border management measures and face the related financial needs.

With a view to providing immediate support to people arriving in the Union and showing concrete solidarity with the most affected Member States, the Commission proposes that the EU budget contributes to the financing of the first reception and registration costs of people fleeing Ukraine for a total amount of EUR 400 million under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)
  6
  and the Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI)
  7
  .

As part of this overall amount, Draft Amending Budget (DAB) No 3 for the year 2022 covers the following elements:

·reinforcement of AMIF for an amount of EUR 99,8 million in commitment apprioriations and EUR 76 million in payment appropriations.

·reinforcement of BMVI for an amount of EUR 100 million in payment appropriations.

2.Reception costs of people fleeing Ukraine

Council Implementing Decision (EU) 2022/382
  8
  established the existence of a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine within the meaning of Article 5 of Directive 2001/55/EC, and having the effect of introducing temporary protection. Recital 22 of the Implementing Decision clarifies that efforts of Member States to comply with the obligations deriving under it and to offer temporary protection will be supported financially by the Union Funds, including by the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the Border Management and Visa Instrument.

2.1 Measures proposed under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF)

The Commission proposes to support the first reception and registration systems of the most affected Member States under AMIF for a total amount of EUR 276 million. This is in order to ensure that people fleeing Ukraine can benefit from adequate first reception, food, shelter, sanitation, clothing, medicines, family tracing, legal and translation assistance, psycho-social and other specialised services leading to their registration in one of the Member States.

The total amount of EUR 276 million is composed of three elements:

1.Following an amendment to the Work Programmes of the Thematic Facility for 2021-2022, an amount of EUR 124 million will be made available in the form of Emergency Assistance under AMIF.

2.In parallel, the Commission proposes a budgetary authority transfer (DEC 11/2022) from the internal strand of the Solidarity and Emergency Aid Reserve (SEAR) to mobilise EUR 52.2 million in commitment appropriations.

3.Through DAB 3, the Commission proposes to mobilise the remaining margin under Heading 4 of EUR 99,8 million in commitment appropriations.

The proposed reinforcements and redeployments are expected to be implemented swiftly, with pre-financing rates of emergency assistance of up to 100%. Taking into account the payment appropriations currently available for AMIF in the 2022 budget and the outlook for the remainder of the year, the Commission estimates that the total reinforcement in commitment appropriations of EUR 276 million requires a reinforcement of payment appropriations of EUR 150 million, of which EUR 74 million through transfer DEC 11/2022 and EUR 76 million through DAB 3.

2.2 Measures proposed under the Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI)

Following an amendment to the Work Programmes of the Thematic Facility for 2021-2022, a further amount of EUR 124 million will be made available in the form of Emergency Assistance under the BMVI. This is in particular to provide funding to the Member States bordering Ukraine to allow for the smooth application of procedures at, or near, the external borders, identification, fingerprinting, registration, security checks, medical and vulnerability screening of third country nationals, as well as for immediate reception needs throughout these procedures.

The proposed redeployment of existing appropriations within the Thematic Facility of the BMVI, leading to emergency assistance with pre-financing rates of up to 100%, entails a much faster implementation of payment appropriations than the originally planned measures, which would have been channeled through the national programmes of the Member States. Taking into account the payment appropriations currently available for the BMVI in the 2022 budget and the outlook for the remainder of the year, the Commission estimates that the redeployment of commitment appropriations of EUR 124 million requires a reinforcement of EUR 100 million in payment appropriations.

3.Financing

Overall, the net impact of this DAB on expenditure amounts to an increase of EUR 99,8 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 176 million in payment appropriations.

The Commission proposes to reinforce the AMIF by EUR 99,8 million in commitment appropiations from the unallocated margin of Heading 4. It is also proposed to reinforce AMIF by EUR 76 million and BMVI by EUR 100 million in payment appropriations from the margin under the payment ceiling. At this early stage of the year, the Commission has not identified sources of redeployment of payment appropriations across the budget, but it will continue closely monitoring the implementation of the budget throughout the year.
