February 18, 2019 — In June 2018, the European Commission published a set of proposals to establish the new European Union’s (EU) Multiannual Financial Framework (MFF) for the period 2021-2027. As part of these proposals, the Asylum and Migration Fund (AMF), which will succeed to the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), is currently being negotiated by the European Parliament, the Council and the European Commission.
The 20 undersigned organisations call on the co-legislators to consider the following key asks to make sure that the AMF plays a considerable role in supporting its stated objectives, including more humane, transparent and effective asylum and migration policies:
- Enhance the role of CSOs and local authorities
- Strengthen the Partnership Principle both at national and EU level
- Build synergies between the AMF and the ESF + proposals
- Define and frame the use of AMF in non-EU countries
