The draft report sets out Parliament's position on the proposed regulation establishing Union support for asylum, migration and integration for 2028 to 2034. It raises the financial envelope to EUR 13 172 971 350 and adds minimum funding shares for asylum and for integration and legal migration. It reintroduces an annex listing eligible actions, sets co-financing rates of 80%, 90% and 100%, and caps support for measures in third countries at 5% of the funding allocated to the objectives. It rewrites the objectives so that legal migration and integration become a separate objective and return becomes another, and requires support to comply with fundamental rights and international obligations. It requires Member States to detail their partnerships and make the details public, and gives the Commission power to adopt delegated acts on eligible actions, funding amounts and plan approval.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes to amend the Commission proposal: raise the financial envelope, add minimum funding shares for asylum and for integration and legal migration, reintroduce an annex of eligible actions, set specific co-financing rates, cap third-country spending at 5%, and rewrite the objectives and language on migration.

Key points

  1. The regulation would fund the common asylum policy and common immigration policy from 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2034, and set minimum funding levels, co-financing rules and a list of eligible actions.
  2. All supported actions must comply with the Union acquis, the Charter of Fundamental Rights and international obligations, including gender equality and non-discrimination, with the best interests of the child a primary consideration.
  3. The instrument should primarily support internal Union policy on asylum, migration and integration, and Member States are encouraged to add national funding where essential, particularly for civil society projects.
  4. The objectives are reordered: legal migration and integration become a separate objective, and return and readmission become another, with return required to be sustainable and not lead to circular irregular migration.
  5. Member States must ensure their National and Regional Partnership Plans include actions from the Annex pursuing each objective, with resources sufficient to achieve them.
  6. The indicative financial envelope for 2028 to 2034 is set at EUR 13 172 971 350 in current prices, and where rules conflict the regulation's own rules prevail.
  7. Support may exceptionally go to measures in third countries, fully coherent with external financing instruments, but must not exceed 5% of the funding allocated to the objectives.
  8. At least 20% of funding allocated to the objectives must go to the asylum objective and at least 20% to the integration and legal migration objective.
  9. Partnerships must include regional, local and other public authorities, civil society organisations such as refugee and migrant-led organisations, national human rights institutions and equality bodies, and Member States must publish the details on request.
  10. Co-financing is set at 80% of eligible expenditure, rising to 90% for return actions and 100% for actions financed under the EU facility under Article 4a(6).
  11. Union support is provided only where agreements and cooperation frameworks demonstrably ensure full compliance with EU fundamental rights and international obligations, through enforceable safeguards, monitoring and accountability.
  12. The Commission may adopt delegated acts on approving measures and actions, amending the list of eligible actions, and funding amounts, for an indeterminate period, subject to revocation by Parliament or the Council and a two-month objection period.
