Amendment 6 #
Draft opinion
Paragraph 2
Paragraph 2
2. Believes that the large budget reduction (49,7 % in PA) for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) undermines the importance and urgency of the AMIF policy objectives; challenges the Commission’s assertions in DB 2018 that justify its proposed reduction in AMIF funding; indeed, even if the revised Dublin Regulation comes into force in 2019, the needs for the reception, care and integration of asylum seekers will be high and are underestimated by the Commission; stresses that security for those who seek protection in the Union should not be adversely affected by budgetary cuts;

Paragraph 2 a (new)
2 a. Notes that the funds originally foreseen for the transfers under the Dublin Regulation should not be reallocated to the returns and to the European Border and Coast Guard Agency but rather to the development of the CEAS and solidarity; considers that in the absence of an agreement on the Dublin Regulation, relocations should continue to be implemented beyond September 2017 and considers that this is required in the light of the fair sharing of responsibility and solidarity between Member States;

Paragraph 2 b (new)
2 b. Recalls that the fair and transparent distribution of funding between the different objectives of the AMIF was a priority for the European Parliament during negotiations leading to the adoption of that fund; calls on the Commission accordingly to increase the number of budget lines under the AMIF to facilitate a better readability and transparency of how the financial resources allocated to the different objectives and thus to those budgetary lines will be spent; calls, in particular, on the Commission to separate expenditure on enhancing fair return strategies from expenditure on legal migration and promoting the effective integration of third-country nationals in all future draft budgets as proposed in the opinion of the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs for the 2015 and 2016 Budget;

4. Welcomes the funding of instruments for emergency assistance in AMIF (EMAS) and for emergency humanitarian support inside the Union (ESI) in the amounts of EUR 50 million and EUR 200 million respectively; regrets, however, that urgent measures are privileged to the detriment of long-term measures such as integration.
