Activity under preparation Individual measure to strengthen return management systems in the Western Balkans for 2024 Supporting the capacities of the Western Balkans to effectively manage their borders, safeguard security, reduce cross-border crime and tackle irregular migration are key priorities given both the geographical location of the region vis-à-vis the European Union (EU), as well as the region's European perspective. In support of the 2023 Communication on EU Enlargement Policy[1], the EU Action Plan on the Western Balkans[2] and in line with the IPA III Programming Framework[3], this Action aims to contribute to further strengthening the capacities of the Western Balkan beneficiaries to operationalise returns management systems in line with EU standards.This Action is designed to respond to the priority needs of the Western Balkan beneficiaries with regards to operationalisation of returns of irregular migrants, who have no legal grounds to remain. It focuses particularly on strengthening institutional systems and capacities to lead effective and rights-based return management operations, strengthen cooperation on return, readmission and reintegration, including with key Countries of Origin (CoO) and increase access of migrants to return and reintegration assistance and information before and after return. The Action is an important component within the wider enlargement process and EU accession negotiations under Chapter 24 of the EU acquis to support the development of effective migration management systems. It contributes to the enhancement of EU migration management assistance in the area of returns in line with the Pact on Migration and Asylum[4], which recognises the importance of the Western Balkans for the EU¿s migration and asylum policy and that the cooperation with the region is already long-standing, tailor-made and comprehensive, and the EU strategy on voluntary return and reintegration.

Support to COP27, TAIEX and strategic foresight (TAIEX priority) Technical assistance and information exchange (TAIEX) supports EU¿s policy objectives, by promoting exchanges between public administrations and thus facilitating adoption of EU legislation, norms, standards and best practice in partner countries. The instrument helps in the legal harmonisation process and administrative capacity building. It can strengthen existing policy dialogues and help in creating new ones. It can support the implementation of the Partnership and Cooperation Agreements, Association Agreements and Agendas or other existing and future agreements and jointly agreed action plans with strategic partners. By doing so it can help to ensure early action to address EU foreign policy needs and priorities in particular in high-income countries and territories.TAIEX support is delivered through short and medium term assistance with the participation of experts primarily from the EU Member States public administrations, ensuring the exchange of knowledge, practices and ideas at peer-to-peer level. In exceptional cases, officials of EU institutions, agencies or international organisations can also be engaged; and, when required, and specific expertise is not available from Member States public institutions, it can be mobilised from the private sector. In specific circumstances, when expertise from beneficiaries is of particular significance to other partner countries and it provides an added value, public experts from partner countries can take part in the activities to provide expertise in the approximation to EU legislation, standards and practices. This participation comes as an effective complement to the knowledge provided by the EU Member States¿ experts, which remains the core of the activities of TAIEX, while developing a multi-stakeholder approach enriching the instrument with other forms of peer learning.
