Amendment 2 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 1
Paragraph 1
1. Welcomes the increase of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) by 31,2% in commitments and 35% in payments compared with 2015; considers that this increase adds to the need to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of funding between the different objectives of AMIF; believes that EU funding for reception and integration of migrants and asylum seekers should be substantially increased, as opposed to the priority which is given today on border control and other costly security measures, such as administrative detention, which have not shown their effectiveness and often contravene rights of migrants; calls on the Commission to primarily allocate additional resources for earmarked specific actions to Member States that volunteer for actions geared towards reception and integration of migrants and asylum seekers; considers it necessary to establish separate budget lines covering the four specific objectives of AMIF and one new budget line for the urgent relocation mechanism;
