EU added value, general objectives and contribution to Europe 2020 Strategy 3.1. EU added value The management of migration flows presents challenges which cannot be dealt with by the Member States acting alone. This is an area where there is obvious added value in mobilising the EU budget. Some Member States bear a heavy burden due to their specific geographic situation and the length of the external borders of the Union that they have to manage. The principle of solidarity and the fair sharing of responsibilities between Member States is therefore at the heart of the common policies on asylum and immigration. The EU budget provides the means to address the financial implications of this principle. In relation to the external dimension of home affairs, it is clear that the adoption of measures and the pooling of resources at EU level will increase significantly the EU leverage necessary to convince third countries to engage with the EU on those migration related issues which are primarily in the interest of the EU and the Member States Contribution to Europe 2020 Strategy Contribution to Europe 2020 headline targets 75% of the population aged should be employed 2/82

EU added value, general objectives and contribution to Europe 2020 Strategy 3.1. EU added value The management of migration flows and security threats present challenges which cannot be dealt with by the Member States acting alone. These are areas where there is obvious added value in mobilising the EU budget. Some Member States bear a heavy burden due to their specific geographic situation and the length of the external borders of the Union that they have to manage. The abolition of internal border controls must be accompanied by common measures for the effective control and surveillance of the Union's external borders. The principle of solidarity and the fair sharing of responsibilities between Member States is therefore at the heart of the common policies on asylum, immigration and external borders. The EU budget provides the means to address the financial implications of this principle. In the area of security, serious and organised crime, terrorism and other security-related threats are increasingly cross-border in nature. Transnational co-operation and coordination between law enforcement authorities is essential to successfully prevent and fight these crimes, for example through the exchange of information, joint investigations, interoperable technologies and common threat and risk assessments. Dealing with migration flows, the management of the EU's external borders and the security of the EU requires substantial resources and capabilities from the Member States. Improved operational co-operation and coordination involving the pooling of resources in areas like training and equipment creates economies of scale and synergies thereby ensuring a more efficient use of public funds and reinforcing solidarity, mutual trust and responsibility sharing for common EU policies among Member States. This is particularly relevant in the area of security, where financial support for all forms of cross-border joint operation is essential to enhance cooperation between police, customs, border guards and judicial authorities. 11/82

Nevertheless, a substantial number (25 out of 30) of ISF national programmes have been submitted. The above mentioned figures are based on the content of the national programmes received so far. In particular, with the information received from Member States, it is now clearer to see how the available funding will be allocated by Member States to the different priorities. Numbers of projects, which is linked to the amounts allocated to each objective, have been adjusted accordingly. The nomenclature chosen to classify the outputs reflects the different priorities set out in the ISF legal basis. It must be underlined that the overall amount allocated to this specific objective (together with the Borders objective) has been reduced by 6,6 M in order to transfer additional funds (20M) to the Frontex Agency to reinforce its budget to carry out joint operations in the Mediterranean sea, as this was done under the 2015 Budget. Specific Objective 2: Supporting integrated border management to ensure, on one hand, a uniform and high level of control and protection of the external borders, and on the other hand, the smooth crossing of the external borders in conformity with the Schengen acquis, while guaranteeing access to international protection for those needing it, in accordance with the obligations contracted by the Member States in the field of human rights Indicator 1: Number of staff trained and number of training courses in aspects related to border management with the help of the Instrument staff trained, 50 training courses 0 No information 750 staff trained, Target defined by extrapolating data available in training courses gathered from the EBF annual programmes Indicator 2: Number of border control (checks and surveillance) infrastructure and means developed or upgraded with the help of the Instrument.

In particular, with the information received from Member States, it is now clearer to see how the available funding will be allocated by member States to the different priorities. Numbers of projects, which is linked to the amounts allocated to each objective, have been adjusted accordingly. The ISF Borders Fund finances actions under two specific objectives: Visa policy and Borders management. The nomenclature chosen to classify the outputs reflects the outcome of the negotiation on the ISF Borders which took place in December In particular, the final text of the legal base has set minimum amounts to be allocated by Member States on the categories of the above outputs table.
