The Union support shall contribute to the efficient management of migration flows and asylum, including by providing support for the implementation, strengthening and development of the Pact on Migration and Asylum, and the common system of temporary protection for displaced persons in the event of a mass influx. | This Regulation lays down the objectives and financing of the Union support for the implementation, strengthening and development of the common policy on asylum and the common immigration policy for the period from 1 January 2028 to 31 December 2034. The Union support shall contribute to the efficient management of migration flows and asylum, including by providing support for the implementation, strengthening and development of the Pact on Migration and Asylum, and the common system of temporary protection for displaced persons in the event of a mass influx, including measures aimed at preventing illegal migration and effectively implementing return decisions. |
The original text emphasizes asylum, temporary protection and the implementation of the Pact, but does not mention return policy or the prevention of illegal migration. Effective migration management requires a balanced approach that includes the protection of those eligible for protection, but also the return of those who do not meet the conditions for residence or international protection.

Under the 2028-2034 MFF, defence and security funding is set to increase fivefold (EUR 130.7bn) and external action by 75% (EUR 200bn), while cohesion funding is squeezed. Given the growing costs of implementing the Pact on Migration and Asylum and reduced ESF+ resources for integration, the AMI envelope must increase accordingly. Within the JHA budget, border management funding is set to double or triple, while asylum, migration and integration funding grows by less than 10%. This enforcement-protection imbalance must be corrected.

| Third countries associated to the Union support | |
| 1. The Union support under this Regulation shall be open to third countries that fulfil the criteria listed in paragraph 2, in accordance with the conditions laid down in a specific agreement covering the participation of the third country in the Union support. | |
| 2. In order for a third country to be eligible to be associated to the Union support as referred to in paragraph 1, it shall have concluded with the Union an agreement 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. | |
| 3. | |
| The specific agreement referred to in paragraph 1 shall at a minimum: | |
| (a) enable cooperation with the Member States and the Union institutions, bodies, offices and agencies in the area of asylum, migration and return in the spirit of the principle of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibility; | |
| (b) be underpinned, throughout the duration of the Union support, by the principles of non-refoulement, democracy, the rule of law and respect for human rights; | |
| (c) ensure a fair balance as regards the contributions made by, and the benefits received by, the third country participating in the Union support; | |
| (d) lay down the conditions of participation in the Union support, including the calculation of financial contributions to the Union support, and its administrative costs; | |
| (e) not confer on the third country any decision-making power in respect of the Union support; | |
| (f) guarantee the rights of the Union to ensure sound financial management and to protect its financial interests; | |
| (g) provide that the third country grants the necessary rights and access required for the authorising officer responsible, the European Anti-Fraud Office (OLAF) and the European Court of Auditors in accordance with Article 28(2), point (d) of Regulation (EU) […] establishing the European Fund for economic, social and territorial cohesion, agriculture and rural, fisheries and maritime, prosperity and security. | |
| The contributions referred to in point (d) of the first subparagraph shall constitute assigned revenues in accordance with Article 21(5) of the Regulation (EU, Euratom 2024/2509). |
Union support under this Regulation should be reserved for the Member States implementing the common policy on asylum and migration. Extending this internal financing instrument to third countries, even under conditions, blurs the line between this Regulation and the Union's external financing instruments and risks legitimising the externalisation of asylum and migration responsibilities of the EU and Member States.
