Recital 2
(2) After having examined all possibilities for re-allocating appropriations under the expenditure ceiling Security and Citizenship (heading 3) and exhausted the unallocated margin, the Commission proposesit is necessary to mobilise EUR 123 941 466 698 through the Flexibility Instrument to complement the financing in the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2016, beyond the expenditure ceiling of heading 3, of a set of temporary measures in the area of asylum to help relieve the immediate and exceptional pressure on asylum and migration systems of Italy and Greece. The total cost of those measures for the year 2016 is estimated at EUR 150 000 000. An additional amount of EUR 12,5 million is required as Emergency Funding under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (enhancing solidarity and responsibility sharing) specifically to fund the transfer of the applicants for international protection from Greece and Italy to the Member States to which they are to be relocated. Further appropriations are also required for the European Asylum Support Office, as that agency is required to play a central, coordinating role in the implementation of the measures in the area of international protection and is increasingly being called upon to further assist the concerned Member States,
