Remarks

This appropriation is intended to contribute to strengthen and develop all aspects of the common European asylum system, including its external dimension and to enhance the solidarity and responsibility sharing between the Member States, in particular towards those most affected by migration and asylum flows, including through practical cooperation.

In the case of the common European asylum system, this appropriation is intended to cover actions relating to reception and asylum systems and actions enhancing the capacity of Member States to develop, monitor and evaluate their asylum policies and procedures. Particular attention should be paid to the specific situation of vulnerable women, especially women with children, and unaccompanied young girls, and to the imperative of preventing gender based violence in reception and asylum centres.

This appropriation is also intended to cover actions related to the resettlement, transfer of applicants for and beneficiaries of international protection and other ad hoc humanitarian admission

At the Commission’s initiative, the appropriation may be used to finance transnational actions or actions of particular interest to the Union. These actions shall, in particular, support:

—

the furthering of Union cooperation in implementing Union law and in sharing good practices in the field of asylum, notably on gender-sensitive reception centres, resettlement and transfer of applicants for and/or beneficiaries of international protection from one Member State to another including through networking and exchanging information, including arrival support and coordination activities to promote resettlement with the local communities that are to welcome resettled refugees,

Remarks

The emergency aid reserve (EAR) is intended to allow for a rapid response to specific aid requirements of third countries following events which could not be foreseen when the budget was established, first and foremost for humanitarian operations, but also for civil crisis management and protection, and situations of particular pressure resulting from migratory flows at the Union’s external borders where circumstances so require.

The annual amount of the reserve is fixed at EUR 280 000 000 (2011 prices) and may be used up to year n+1 in accordance with the Financial Regulation. The reserve shall be entered in the general budget of the Union as a provision. The portion of the annual amount stemming from the previous year shall be drawn on first. That portion of the annual amount from year n which is not used in year n+1 shall lapse.
