Amendment 103 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 34
Paragraph 34
34. Underlines the importance of increasing appropriations for the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, in particular in the light of the recent developments in Afghanistan; reverses, further, the decrease for the Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI) programmed by the Commission to finance new tasks for Europol under its enhanced mandate, as the necessary appropriations for Europol should be drawn exclusively from unallocated margins under the relevant MFF heading ceilings and/or through the mobilisation of the relevant MFF special instruments; calls for appropriate budgeting for Europol in view of the appointment of additional staff in 2022; the respective appropriations will mitigate the risks of a late adoption of the revised mandate and boost Europol’s response against terrorism and cybercrime, innovation, to support large scale investigations, cooperation with EPPO and anti-money laundering activities; against this background, offsets also the redeployment of BMVI for eu- LISA;
