Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4

(4) In order to support efforts to ensure a comprehensive approach to management of migration grounded on mutual trust, solidarity and responsibility sharing among Member States and Union institutions, with the objective of ensuring a common sustainable Union policy on asylum and immigration, Member States should be supported by adequate financial resources in the form of the Asylum, Migration and MiIntegration Fund (hereinafter referred to as ‘the Fund’).

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)

(4 a) The Fund should reflect the global context and commitments relevant to asylum and migration, notably the Global Compact on Refugees and the Global Compact for Safe, Orderly and Regular Migration. With the Sustainable Development Goals at its core, the 2030 Agenda provides a comprehensive shared framework for action that includes migration commitments and applies to the European Union, to its Member States and to its partners.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 7

(7) The Fund should support the efficient management of migration ~~flows~~, inter alia by promoting common measures in the area of asylum, including Member States’ efforts in receiving persons in need of international protection through resettlement and the transfer of applicants for or beneficiaries of international protection between Member States, supporting integration strategies and a more effective legal migration policy, so as to ensure the Union’s long-term competitiveness and the future of its social model and reduce incentives for irregular migration through ~~a sustainable return and readmission policy~~the introduction of adequate channels for legal migration. The Fund should support the strengthening of cooperation with third countries to reinforce management of flows of persons applying for asylum or other forms of international protection, avenues on legal migration and to counter irregular migration and ensure sustainability of return and effective readmissioavenues on legal migration and to ensure sustainability of reintegration after return to third countries.

Recital 8

(8) ~~The migration crisis highlighted the need to~~A reform of the Common European Asylum System is needed in order to ensure that efficient a~~sylum procedures to prevent secondary moveme~~nd rights- based asylum procedures are in place and can be accessed by asylum applicants, to provide uniform and appropriate reception conditions for applicants for international protection, uniform standards for the granting of international protection and appropriate rights and benefits for beneficiaries of international protection. At the same time, the reform wais needed to put in place a fairer and more effective system of determining Member States’ responsibility for applicants for international protection as well as a Union framework for Member States’ resettlement efforts. Therefore, it is appropriate for the Fund to provide increased support to Member States’ efforts to fully and properly implement the reformed Common European Asylum System.

Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 11

(11) Partnerships and cooperation with third countries are an essential component of Union asylum policy to ensure the adequate management of flows of persons applying for asylum or other forms of international protection. With the aim of replacing the unsafe and irregular arrivals with legal and safe arrival to the territory of the Member States of third-country nationals or stateless persons in need of international protection, expressing solidarity with countries in regions to which or within which a large number of persons in need of international protection have been displaced by helping to alleviate the pressure on those countries, helping achieve the Union’s migration policy objectives by increasing the Union’s leverage vis-à-vis third countries, and of effectively contributing to global resettlement initiatives by speaking with one voice in international fora and with third countries, the Fund should provide financial incentives to the implementation of the Union Resettlement [and Humanitarian Admission] Framework.

Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 12

(12) Considering the ~~high levels of migration flows to the Union in the last years and the~~ importance of ensuring the cohesion of our societies, it is crucial to support Member States’ policies for ~~early~~ integration of ~~legally staying~~ third-country nationals, including in the priority areas identified in the Action Plan on Integration of third- country nationals adopted by the Commission in 2016.

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 14

(14) In this context, the authorities of the Member States responsible for the implementation of the Fund should be required to cooperate and establish coordination mechanisms with the authorities identified by Member States for the purpose of the management of the interventions of the ESF+ and of the ERDF and wherever necessary with their managing authorities and with the managing authorities of other Union funds contributing to the integration of third- country nationals. Through these coordination mechanisms, the relevant authorities should assess the extent to which measures implemented through the ESF+ and ERDF are contributing to the integration of third county nationals.

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 16

(16) It is appropriate to allow those Member States that so wish to provide in their programmes that integration actions may include immediate relatives of third- country nationals, supporting family reunification in the best interests of the child, to the extent that this is necessary for the effective implementation of such actions. The term ‘immediate relative’ should be understood as meaning spouses, partners and any person having direct family links in descending or ascending line with the third-country national targeted by the integration action, and who would otherwise not be covered by the scope of the Fund.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17

(17) Considering the crucial role played by local and regional authorities and civil society organisations in the field of integration and to facilitate the direct access of these entities to funding at Union level, the Fund should facilitate the implementation of actions in the field of integration by local and regional authorities or civil society organisations, including through the use of the thematic facility and through a higher co-financing rate for these actions.

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 20

(20) An efficient and dignified return policy is an integral part of the comprehensive migration approach the Union and its Member States pursue. The Fund should support ~~and encourage~~ efforts by the Member States with a view to the effective implementation and further development of common standards on return, in particular as set out in Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council15 , and of an integrated and coordinated approach to return management. For sustainable return policies, the Fund should equally support related measures in third countries, such as the reintegration of returnees. _________________ 15 Directive 2008/115/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2008 on common standards and procedures in Member States for returning illegally staying third-country nationals (OJ L 348, 24.12.2008, p. 98).

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 22

(22) Voluntary and enforced returns are nevertheless interlinked, with mutually reinforcing effect, and Member States should therefore be encouraged to reinforce the complementarities between these two forms of return. The possibility of removals is an important element contributing to the integrity of the asylum and legal migration systemsreturn should always take priority over enforced returns and Member States should therefore be encouraged to reinforce programmes ensuring sustainable voluntary return. The Fund should therefore support actions of Member States to facilitate and carry out ~~removals~~programmes for voluntary return in accordance with the standards laid down in Union law, where applicable, and with full respect for the fundamental rights and dignity of returnees.

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 24

(24) RFormal readmission agreements ~~and other arrangements~~ are an integral component of the Union return policy and a central tool for the efficient management of migration flows, as they facilitate the swift return of irregular migrants. Those agreements and arrangements are an important element in the framework of the dialogue and cooperation with third countries of origin and transit of irregular migrants and t. Their implementation in third countries should be supported in the interests of effective return policies at national and Union level.

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 25

(25) In addition to supporting the return of persons as provided for in this Regulation, the Fund should also support other measures to counter irregular migration, address incentives for illegal migration or the circumventing of existing legal migration rules, thereby safeguarding the integrity of Member States’ immigration systems.deleted

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 26

(26) The employment of irregular migrants ~~creates a pull factor for illegal migration and~~ undermines the development of a labour mobility policy built on legal migration schemes and endangers the rights of migrant workers, making them vulnerable to rights violations and abuse. The Fund should therefore support Member States, either directly or indirectly, in their implementation of Directive 2009/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council16 which prohibits the employment of illegally staying third-country nationals, provides for a complaints and wage recuperation mechanism for exploited workers and provides for sanctions against employers who infringe that prohibition. _________________ 16 Directive 2009/52/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009 providing for minimum standards on sanctions and measures against employers of illegally staying third-country nationals (OJ L 168, 30.6.2009, p. 24).

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 27

(27) The Fund should support Member States, either directly or indirectly, in their implementation of Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council17 which sets forth provisions on assistance, support and protection of victims of trafficking in human beings and of the Reception Conditions Directive 2013/33/EU (Article 25), Asylum Procedures Directive 2013/32/EU (Article 24), Qualifications Directive 2011/95/EU (Article 30) and Dublin III Regulation 604/2013 (article 32) which imposes obligations to identify and address the specific needs of asylum seekers who have been subjected to torture or other forms of serious violence. _________________ 17 Directive 2011/36/EU of the European Parliament and of the Council of 5 April 2011 on preventing and combating trafficking in human beings and protecting its victims, and replacing Council Framework Decision 2002/629/JHA (OJ L 101, 15.4.2011, p. 1).

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 28

(28) The Fund should complement and reinforce the activities undertaken in the field of return by the European Border and Coast Guard Agency established by Regulation (EU) 2016/1624 of the European Parliament and of the Council18 , therefore contributing to effective European Integrated Border Management, as defined in Article 4 of that Regulation. _________________ 18 Regulation (EU) 2016/1624 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 14 September 2016 on the European Border and Coast Guard amending Regulation (EU) 2016/399 of the European Parliament and of the Council and repealing Regulation (EC) No 863/2007 of the European Parliament and of the Council, Council Regulation (EC) No 2007/2004 and Council Decision 2005/267/EC (OJ L 251, 16.9.2016, p. 1).deleted

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 30

(30) Measures in and in relation to third countries supported through the Fund should complement other actions outside the Union supported through the Union’s external financing instruments. In particular, in implementing such actions, full coherence should be sought with the principles and general objectives of the Union’s external action and foreign policy in respect of the country or region in question and the Union international commitments. In relation to the external dimension, the Fund should target support to enhance cooperation with third countries and to reinforce key aspects of migration management in areas of interest to the Union's migration policy.

2018/12/12
Committee: LIBE

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 35

(35) These initial amounts should form a basis for Member States’ long-term investments. To take account of changes in migration flows and to address needs in the management of asylum and reception systems and integration of ~~legally staying~~ third-country nationals, and counter irregular migration through efficient and sustainable return policy, an additional amount should be allocated to the Member States at mid-term taking into account the absorption rates. This amount should be based on the latest available statistical data as set out in Annex I to reflect the changes in the baseline situation of Member States.

Proposal for a regulation
Recital 54

(54) Pursuant to paragraph 22 and 23 of the Inter-institutional agreement for Better Law-Making of 13 April 2016, there is a need to evaluate this Fund on the basis of information collected through specific monitoring requirements, while avoiding overregulation and administrative burden, in particular on Member States. These requirements, where appropriate, can include measurable indicators, as a basis for evaluating the effects of the Fund on the ground. In order to measure the achievements of the Fund, common indicators and related targets should be established in relation to each specific objective of the Fund. Through these common indicators and financial reporting, the Commission and the Member States should monitor the implementation of the Fund, in accordance with the relevant provisions of Regulation (EU) …/2021 of the European Parliament and of the Council [Common Provisions Regulation] and this Regulation. A centralised report outlining monitoring results and implementation of AMIF actions at both local and regional, national and EU level, including specific projects and partners, should be made publicly available and communicated to the European Parliament.
