The Committee on Budgets draft opinion concerns the proposed regulation establishing a Union Resettlement Framework. The rapporteur supports the proposal and calls on the lead committee to propose that Parliament adopt its position taking over the Commission proposal. He wants resettlement plans to be ambitious and funded, welcomes EUR 10,000 per resettled person from AMIF, and asks that both arms of the Budgetary Authority receive full information on the financial implications of the next annual resettlement plan.

Position. The rapporteur supports the Commission proposal and calls on the lead committee to propose that Parliament adopt its position at first reading taking over the Commission proposal. He also asks for ambitious, funded resettlement plans and full budgetary information.

Key points

  1. The rapporteur holds that the EU needs an integrated, sustainable migration policy based on solidarity and fair burden-sharing between all Member States.
  2. He believes legal ways to seek refuge in Europe could avoid deaths at the Mediterranean Sea and break down the business model of migrant smugglers.
  3. He supports linking the proposed recast of the Dublin regulation to this proposal, so that resettled persons are added to applications for international protection when calculating the corrective allocation mechanism.
  4. He favours a link with the recast Eurodac regulation so that data on resettled persons is stored in the Eurodac system.
  5. Although the proposal has no well defined quota of persons to be resettled, he wants the resettlement plans to be ambitious and the means for their implementation to be made available.
  6. He welcomes allocating EUR 10,000 from the Union budget to Member States for each resettled person, paid from AMIF under annual Union resettlement plans adopted by the Council.
  7. He understands the removal of co-financing from the EU budget for resettlement under national resettlement programmes, to ensure funding of the European resettlement programmes.
  8. He stresses that the two arms of the Budgetary Authority must have full information on the financial implications of the next annual resettlement plan when the proposal on the draft Union annual budget for the following year is presented.
  9. The Committee on Budgets calls on the Committee on Civil Liberties, Justice and Home Affairs, as committee responsible, to propose that Parliament adopt its position at first reading taking over the Commission proposal.

DRAFT OPINION

Short justification

The rapporteur is of the opinion that the EU is in urgent need of an integrated, sustainable migration policy, based on solidarity and fair burden-sharing between all Member States. He believes that the creation of legal ways to seek refuge in Europe could avoid tragic deaths at Mediterranean Sea and break down the business model of migrant smugglers.

The rapporteur supports linking the proposed recast of the ‘Dublin regulation’ to the present proposal, so that the number of resettled persons is added to the number of applications for international protection for the purpose of calculating the corrective allocation mechanism. The rapporteur is also in favour of establishing a link with the recast Eurodac regulation so that data on resettled persons will be stored in the Eurodac system.

In terms of its budgetary implications, despite the absence of a well defined quota of persons to be resettled in the proposal, the rapporteur wishes that these resettlement plans should be ambitious and that the means necessary for their implementation be made available.

The rapporteur welcomes the proposal to allocate EUR 10,000 from the Union budget to Member States for each resettled person, to be paid from AMIF, on the basis of Union resettlement plans adopted on an annual basis by the Council. The rapporteur understands the removal of co-financing from the EU budget for resettlement under national resettlement programs in view to ensure the necessary funding of these European resettlement programs.

Finally, the rapporteur wishes to emphasize that two arms of the Budgetary Authority must have full information on the financial implications of the next annual resettlement plan at the time of the presentation of the proposal on the draft Union annual budget for the following year.
