| (1) The purpose of this Regulation is to contribute to the Union’s objective of constituting an area of freedom, security and justice in accordance with the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union (TFEU) through provision of Union support for the development of a common policy on asylum, subsidiary protection and temporary protection with a view to offering appropriate status to any third-country national requiring international protection and ensuring compliance with the principle of non-refoulement in accordance with Article 77 TFEU, and a common immigration policy aimed at ensuring, at all stages, the efficient management of migration flows, fair treatment of third-country nationals residing legally in Member States, and the prevention of, and enhanced measures to combat, illegal immigration and trafficking in human beings in accordance with Article 79 TFEU. | (1) The Union support should take into consideration the current situation, or in other words the fact that the asylum system is not functioning properly due to systemic abuses, secondary flows, lengthy procedures, low return numbers for those whose applications have been rejected, and disparities between the legal framework dating back to the 1950s and today’s mixed migration flows, which are dominated by economic migrants rather than refugees fleeing persecution; |

The principle of non-refoulement already follows from international and EU law and therefore does not need to be specifically mentioned among the objectives of the Fund. The concept of ‘fair treatment’ is vague and does not contribute to legal clarity. The fund should focus on migration management, asylum and returns. The proposed amendment does not change the rights of migrants under the EU acquis and at the same time emphasises the importance of an effective return policy.

This Union support will be provided under the horizontal rules of the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security established by Regulation (EU) […]. |

The terms ‘comprehensive approach’, ‘solidarity’ and ‘fair sharing of responsibility’ are political concepts that can be subject to different interpretations. The purpose of the Fund should be to provide financial resources for the practical implementation of migration and asylum policy, not to promote a specific political interpretation of the Pact. The proposed amendment maintains the objective of effective migration management while increasing the legal clarity of the text.

Mandatory relocation mechanisms interfere with the sovereignty of nation states and involve matters that do not fall under the sole competence of the Union, however, and shall therefore be terminated as a matter of urgency. |

| (3a) Civil society organisations, including refugee-led and migrant-led organisations, play an essential role in the provision of asylum, reception, integration and protection services, and in monitoring respect for fundamental rights. Member States should ensure an enabling and safe environment for such organisations and should refrain from imposing administrative, financial or legal restrictions. | |
| In addition to the co-financing rate provided by the Union support under this Regulation for eligible measures or actions, Member States are encouraged to provide complementary funding from the budgets of their public authorities to civil society organisations, including long-term and core funding, and to facilitate access to simplified funding and reporting requirements, in order to support their sustainability and independence. |

| (3a) All actions funded under the Fund, should be implemented in full compliance with the rights and principles enshrined in the Union acquis and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union, and should be in line with the international obligations of the Union and the Member States arising from the international instruments to which they are party, in particular by ensuring compliance with the principles of gender equality, non-discrimination and the best interests of the child. |

| (3a) Given the internal nature of the Union support provided under this Regulation and given that this Regulation is the main funding instrument for asylum, migration and integration policies at Union level, the instrument should primarily support actions serving internal Union policy on asylum, migration and integration in line with the instrument’s objectives. |

| (3b) While this Regulation should primarily support the implementation of the Union’s internal asylum and migration policies, it should be possible to provide support for actions in third countries related to legal migration, resettlement and reintegration. Support in third countries should be strictly limited to these actions and should be conditional upon full respect for the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and the international obligations of the Union and the Member States. To that end, support should be accompanied by effective safeguards, independent monitoring, transparency requirements and appropriate accountability mechanisms, including the obligation to suspend or terminate support where violations are identified. |

| In order to maximise the impact of Union support and its alignment with EU values, it is essential to enhance transparency and accountability when actions are implemented through non-governmental organisations. As highlighted by the European Court of Auditors in its Special Report 11/2025, information on funding channelled to non-governmental organisations is often fragmented, incomplete and not sufficiently reliable, which hampers proper oversight of how such funding is used, including the proportion allocated to administrative expenditure as opposed to the direct implementation of actions. It is therefore appropriate to introduce specific safeguards requiring that a substantial share of the Union support is directed to the actions themselves rather than to administrative costs, and to ensure that relevant information on funding allocated to non-governmental organisations is made publicly available in a clear and timely manner. |

| Access to essential services such as emergency healthcare, education for minors, protection from violence and legal aid should be guaranteed to all migrants present on the territory of the Member States, regardless of their administrative status. Where Union support under this Regulation finances such services, Member States should ensure that access to and provision of those services is not used for immigration enforcement purposes, and that service providers are not required to transmit personal data of the persons concerned to immigration enforcement authorities. |

| This Union support under this Regulation should finance measures tailored to the needs of third-country nationals that are generally implemented in the early stages of integration, as well as horizontal measures supporting Member States’ capacities in the field of integration, whereas interventions for third-country nationals with a longer-term impact should be pursued under other Union supports. | This Union support under this Regulation should finance measures tailored to the needs of third-country nationals that are generally implemented in the early stages of integration, as well as those supporting longer-term integration pathways. It should also support horizontal measures to strengthen Member States’ capacities in the field of integration and social inclusion. Union support should cover the full integration pathway, without prejudice to complementarity with other Union funding. In any event, Union support should seek to guarantee equal access and non-discrimination for third-country nationals targeted by integration measures. |
The inclusion of both early-stage and longer-term integration measures ensures a comprehensive and continuous approach to integration. Excluding longer-term integration from this instrument would risk fragmentation and reduce policy coherence at Union level. In the context of reduced resources under the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+), it is essential to support integration across the full integration pathway for achieving sustainable social and economic inclusion.

| (6a) In view of the evolving nature of migration challenges and the need for effective and sustainable migration management, the Union support should be able to contribute to the development, testing and implementation of innovative solutions, in full compliance with Union and international law.

At the same time, to ensure sufficient and predictable funding as regards the development of the Common European Asylum System and as regards ensuring functioning asylum and reception systems, developing legal migration and promoting and contributing to integration, a fixed minimum percentage of the annual allocation from the EU Facility to this Regulation should be dedicated to those specific objectives. Moreover, in order to expand direct funding streams within the EU Facility for local and regional authorities for the implementation of integration actions, it is appropriate to build on the practice established under the current Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund, and to set aside 5% of the annual support to be directed to Home Affairs specifically for integration actions carried out by local and regional authorities. The EU Facility offers flexibility in the management of the Union support, and, for shared management, it should be implemented through the Member States’ National and Regional Partnership Plans. However, flexibility should not result in the systematic reallocation of resources away from protection and integration actions. |

Compliance with the Union acquis constitutes an objective legal standard. In contrast, the term ‘agreed Union priorities’ is a broader political concept that may be subject to varying interpretation. Deleting this wording enhances legal certainty and focuses the provision on compliance with binding legal provisions.

The fund in question is intended to provide financing for measures related to the provision of temporary protection. The formulation of ‘balance of efforts between Member States’ represents a broad political concept, the content of which is not further defined. The deletion of this part increases the legal clarity of the provision without affecting the possibility of providing support to persons enjoying temporary protection.

The terms ‘holistic approach’, ‘maximising synergies’ and ‘increasing leverage’ are vague and do not provide sufficient guidance for the use of funds. The proposed amendment replaces them with specific objectives in the areas of migration management, returns and the combat against smuggling. The AMIF Fund is primarily intended to support Member States’ actions, while the financing of EU delegations falls under the Union’s external action instruments. The amendment increases legal certainty and transparency in the use of the fund.

| (16) A third country that has concluded an agreement with the Union on the criteria and mechanisms for establishing the State responsible for examining an application for international protection registered in a Member State or registered in that third country should be allowed to participate in the Union support through this Regulation provided certain conditions are fulfilled. | (16) A third country that has concluded an agreement with the Union for the purpose of achieving the objectives of this Regulation and based on the criteria and mechanisms for establishing the State responsible for examining an application for international protection registered in a Member State or registered in that third country should be allowed to participate in the Union support through this Regulation provided certain conditions are fulfilled. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (16a) The Union support open to third countries under this Regulation is designed exclusively to support the development of asylum and protection systems, legal migration and integration, and cooperation on migration management including effective return and cooperation to counter illegal migration conducted in full respect of fundamental rights and international obligations, including the principle of non-refoulement in a consistent manner with the objectives and legal framework of the Pact on Asylum and Migration. Any use of Union support in relation to facilities or arrangements established in third countries shall be subject to full compliance with Union law, international law and fundamental rights standards, including effective safeguards, independent monitoring and respect for the rights of the persons concerned. No agreement or arrangement concluded between the Union and a third country shall derogate from those requirements. |

| (16a) In this regard, agreements with third countries should always be founded on the respect for fundamental rights, international law and the principle of non-refoulement. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (16b) The Union support open to third countries under this Regulation is designed exclusively to support the development of asylum and protection systems, legal migration and integration, and cooperation on migration management conducted in full respect of fundamental rights and international obligations, such as but not limited the principle of non-refoulement, as envisioned under the regulations constituting the Pact on asylum and migration. It does not extend to the establishment, operation, maintenance or financing of any facility located outside the territory of the Union used for the holding, processing or detention of third-country nationals for the purpose of return. No agreement or arrangement concluded between the Union and a third country pursuant to Article 7 of this Regulation shall be construed as authorising the use of Union support for such purposes. |
| Text proposed by the Commission | Amendment |
|---|---|
| (17) All actions supported in accordance with the Union support under this Regulation should be implemented in compliance with the rights and principles enshrined in the Union acquis and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and should be in line with the international obligations of the Union and the Member States arising from the international instruments to which they are party. | (17) All actions supported in accordance with the Union support under this Regulation should be implemented in compliance with the rights and principles enshrined in the Union acquis and the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union and should be in line with the international obligations of the Union and the Member States arising from the international instruments to which they are party, whilst also taking into account the responsibility of the Member States for maintaining public order and safeguarding internal security under Article 72 TFEU. |
Respect for fundamental rights and international obligations constitutes an integral part of the implementation of Union law. At the same time, however, the TFEU explicitly recognises the responsibility of Member States for maintaining law and order and safeguarding internal security. The proposed amendment ensures a more balanced expression of both principles.

| (17a) The provisions of this Regulation as well as its governance arrangements must be conducive to proper decision-making by the budgetary authority and to appropriate parliamentary oversight.
