THE EUROPEAN COMMISSION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 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(1), and in particular Article 53(4) thereof,                        

Whereas:

(1)Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 lays down general provisions for the implementation of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund                              and the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management.

(2)Experience has shown that European Union citizens are insufficiently aware of the role played by the Union in funding programmes.                              It is therefore appropriate to define in detail the information and publicity measures necessary to bridge this communication                              and information gap.

(3)The minimum measures needed to inform potential beneficiaries about the financing opportunities offered jointly by the Union                              and Member States through the national programme should be set out. This will ensure that information on possible funding                              opportunities is disseminated widely to all interested parties and support transparency, To further enhance transparency about                              use of the funds, the list of beneficiaries, the names of projects and the amount of public funding allocated to projects                              should be published.

(4)In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation and not delay the approval and                              implementation of the national programmes, the Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication                              in the *Official Journal of the European Union*.

(5)The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 and are as a consequence bound by this Regulation.

(6)Denmark is not bound by Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 nor by this Regulation,
