REGULATION (EU) 2022/585 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL

of 6 April 2022

amending Regulations (EU) No 514/2014 laying down general provisions on the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and on the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management, (EU) No 516/2014 establishing the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and (EU) 2021/1147 establishing the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund

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 Article 78(2), Article 79(2) and (4), Article 82(1), Article 84 and Article 87(2) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

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

Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (1),

Whereas:

| (1) | The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022 has led to a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine to several Member States. This places renewed pressure on the financial resources of Member States to deal with urgent migration, border management and security needs that, given the nature and dimension of the crisis, will persist beyond 2022. |

(1)

The invasion of Ukraine by the Russian Federation on 24 February 2022 has led to a mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine to several Member States. This places renewed pressure on the financial resources of Member States to deal with urgent migration, border management and security needs that, given the nature and dimension of the crisis, will persist beyond 2022.

| (2) | Since 1 January 2014 the Union’s home affairs policy for migration, border management and security has been supported by funding from the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, established by Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (2), and from the Internal Security Fund, consisting of the instrument for financial support for external borders and visa, established by Regulation (EU) No 515/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (3), and the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management, established by Regulation (EU) No 513/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (4) (the ‘Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020’). |

| (3) | It is necessary to extend the implementation period of the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 by 1 year to allow the Member States to fully use any unspent amounts from those programmes, and, if necessary, to swiftly revise the implementation of their programmes as needed to address the unforeseen challenges arising from the invasion of Ukraine. |

| (4) | It is necessary to provide for more flexibility in the use of earmarked resources under Regulation (EU) No 516/2014 that currently prevents unspent amounts from the 2014-2020 programming period from being used for actions to address pressing needs arising from the invasion of Ukraine. |

| (5) | Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council (5) lays down general rules for the implementation of the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 with regard to, inter alia, the financing of expenditure and the implementation period. Those rules limit the eligibility of Member States’ disbursements to 30 June 2023 at the latest and set 31 December 2023 as the end of the implementation period. |

Those rules limit the eligibility of Member States’ disbursements to 30 June 2023 at the latest and set 31 December 2023 as the end of the implementation period.

| (6) | On 1 January 2021, under the Multiannual Financial Framework for 2021-2027, a renewed package of funds in the area of migration and border management entered into application in the form of the new Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, established by Regulation (EU) 2021/1147 of the European Parliament and of the Council (6), the Instrument for Financial Support for Border Management and Visa Policy, established by Regulation (EU) 2021/1148 of the European Parliament and of the Council (7), and the Internal Security Fund, established by Regulation (EU) 2021/1149 of the European Parliament and of the Council (8) (the ‘Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027’). |

| (7) | Although the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027 entered into force on 15 July 2021 with retroactive applicability from 1 January 2021, the programmes of all the Member States have not yet been approved. |

Although the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027 entered into force on 15 July 2021 with retroactive applicability from 1 January 2021, the programmes of all the Member States have not yet been approved.

| (8) | In order to ensure continuity in the implementation of the policy objectives of the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 and 2021-2027 and to allow for a smooth transition between the programming periods for 2014-2020 and for 2021-2027, thereby minimising the administrative burden for the Member States, it is necessary for some overlap to exist between the implementation of those funding instruments. That necessity is expressly recognised by the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027 and by Regulation (EU) 2021/1060 of the European Parliament and of the Council (9), which allow for the retroactive eligibility of expenditure as of 1 January 2021. |

| (9) | Despite the provisions to help bridge the gap between the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 and the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027, the end date of the implementation of the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 and the anticipated dates for approval of the programmes under the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027 risk exposing the Member States to a considerable funding gap. That funding gap might lead to liquidity problems due to the additional pressure on the Member States’ migration and border management following the mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine. |

Despite the provisions to help bridge the gap between the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 and the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027, the end date of the implementation of the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 and the anticipated dates for approval of the programmes under the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027 risk exposing the Member States to a considerable funding gap. That funding gap might lead to liquidity problems due to the additional pressure on the Member States’ migration and border management following the mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine.

| (10) | The risk of a considerable funding gap is exacerbated by the fact that the Home Affairs Funds 2014-2020 follow a shorter cycle for implementing budgetary commitments (the N+2 rule) that is not aligned to other Union funding instruments in shared management, such as cohesion funds, where a longer implementation period (the N+3 rule) applies. The N+3 rule applies to the Home Affairs Funds 2021-2027 as set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/1060. The N+3 rule means that a commitment made in year N has to be covered by the same amount of pre-financing and interim payment claims before 31 December in year N+3 (for example, a commitment made in 2014 has to be fully covered by pre-financing and payment claims before 31 December 2017). The amount not covered is decommitted, meaning that the Member State loses the relevant funding. |

The amount not covered is decommitted, meaning that the Member State loses the relevant funding.

| (11) | Available information on the state of play of implementation by Member States indicate a high risk of decommitting funds that could otherwise be used to address newly arisen needs. That risk is due, in part, to reasons outside the control of the Member States, such as implementation delays caused by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020-2021. Meanwhile, extending the deadline for implementing funds by 1 year would make it possible for Member States to make full use of the budgetary commitments within the 2014-2020 programmes to address the challenges they are now facing due to the war in Ukraine. |

| (12) | Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 recognises that, in the light of new or unforeseen circumstances, at the initiative of the Commission or the Member State concerned, an approved national programme may be re-examined and, if necessary, revised for the rest of the programming period. It is appropriate to consider the war in Ukraine as constituting ‘new or unforeseen circumstances’ that justify a re-examination and operational re-direction of a programme, in light of the new needs and within the specific objectives of the programme as previously adopted. |

It is necessary to extend that principle of flexibility to address pressing needs in the light of new or unforeseen circumstances, in particular to address the new asylum and migration management needs of Member States arising from the invasion of Ukraine. |

| (16) | In order to unblock access to all available funds and avoid their loss through decommitment of unused resources previously earmarked for certain specific purposes under Regulation (EU) No 516/2014, including resources for specific actions and for the Union Resettlement Programme, it is necessary to offer Member States flexibility to exceptionally use these resources in the light of new or unforeseen circumstances, such as those arising from the invasion of Ukraine. |

| (17) | To enhance the scope of available funding sources to help deal with unforeseeable future events, it is appropriate to allow Member States and other public or private donors, during the 2021-2027 programming period, to make additional financial contributions to asylum and migration management, in the form of external assigned revenue. That external assigned revenue is to constitute a dedicated contribution from Member States and other public or private donors to finance specific items of expenditure under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund for 2021-2027, and will allow an added preparedness measure for funding asylum and migration activities in Member States during crises such as that arising from the invasion of Ukraine. |

| (18) | The support provided under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund for 2014-2020 and the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund for 2021-2027 is complementary to actions financed under other Union funds, in particular under cohesion policy, to maximise the impact of available funding. |

| (19) | Since the objectives of this Regulation cannot be sufficiently achieved by the Member States but can rather, by reason of the scale or effects of the action, be better achieved at Union level, the Union may adopt measures, in accordance with the principle of subsidiarity as set out in Article 5 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU). In accordance with the principle of proportionality as set out in that Article, this Regulation does not go beyond what is necessary in order to achieve those objectives. |

| (20) | In view of the urgency of making financial resources available for Member States to deal with migration, border management and security needs caused by the mass influx of displaced persons from Ukraine, it is considered to be appropriate to invoke the exception to the eight-week period provided for in Article 4 of Protocol No 1 on the role of national Parliaments in the European Union, annexed to the TEU, to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) and to the Treaty establishing the European Atomic Energy Community. |
