1.Introduction

The Commission Decision on the Facility for Refugees in Turkey was amended on 14 March 2018
  5
  in order to allocate an additional EUR 3 billion (a 'second tranche') to the Facility over the period 2018–2019. This amendment follows the successful implementation of the first tranche of the Facility with funding under the 2016 and 2017 budgets, as confirmed in the 2nd Annual Report on the Facility
  6
  . The EU-Turkey Statement of 18 March 2016 confirms that the EU would mobilise additional funding for the Facility by end-2018, bringing the total budget for the Facility to EUR 6 billion.

The present draft amending budget proposes to add EUR 500 million in commitment appropriations as the EU contribution to the second tranche to the EU budget in 2018, in addition to the EUR 50 million financed from the existing Humanitarian Aid budgetary envelope in 2018.

As the unallocated margin available under heading 4 Global Europe is not sufficient to cover this reinforcement (EUR 256,2 million), it is proposed to use the Global Margin for Commitments in accordance with Article 14 of the Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) regulation
  7
  , for financing the balance (EUR 243,8 million).

The remaining EU budget contribution to the Facility will be proposed under the 2019 draft budget.

2.Appropriations requested in the budget of 2018

It is proposed to add EUR 500 million in commitment appropriations to the Instrument for Pre-accession Assistance to the budget line 22 02 03 02 - Turkey - Support for economic, social and territorial development and related progressive alignment with the Union acquis. This funding is needed in order to ensure a seamless follow up of successful Facility interventions funded under the first tranche, notably in order to be able to continue paying the salaries for over 5 000 teachers who so far have provided education to over 300 000 refugee children in Turkey.

The payment appropriations available in the voted budget are estimated to be sufficient to cover the EUR 180 million of advance payments expected to be made in the course of this year. No reinforcement in payment appropriations is therefore requested at this stage. However, the Commission may present an amending budget later in the year in case the implementation of the budget shows the need for reinforcement.
