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. 3.2.

Justification of changes to the financial programming and/or to the performance information The financial programming of the AMIF in the 2016 Draft Budget is different from the initial financial programming in the legislative financial statement accompanying the COM proposal for the AMF (COM (2011) 751). Indeed, the initial financial programming was reflecting the linear distribution as in the COM proposal (COM (2011) 398 final), whereas the current financial programming reflects the Commission' proposal COM(2015) 15 of 20.01.2015 concerning the re-profiling exercise carried out in 2015 corresponding to the reallocation over 2015, 2016 and 2017 of non-committed amounts for 2014. The performance indicators and the funds allocation per specific objective and outputs are based on the information provided in the draft national programmes. Under shared management, there were no outputs produced (P) in 2014, because no national programmes were adopted under the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund as of 31.12.2014. Specific Objective 2: to support legal migration to the Member States in accordance with their economic and social needs, such as labour market needs, while safeguarding the integrity of the immigration systems of Member States, and to promote the effective integration of third-country nationals Indicator 1: Number of target group persons who participated in pre-departure measures supported under the Fund 0 Estimation on the basis of corrected provisional figures in AMIF draft national programmes on 10/02/2015. 2014 data are not available yet (will become available in April 2016). 0 33 000 33 000 Indicator 2: Number of target group persons assisted by the Fund through integration measures in the framework of national, local and regional strategies 3 0 Estimation on the basis of corrected provisional figures in AMIF draft national programmes on 10/02/2015. 2014 data are not available yet (will become available in April 2016). 0 263 000 263 000 Indicator 3: Number of local, regional and national policy frameworks/measures/tools in place for the integration of third-country nationals and involving civil society and migrant communities, as well as all other relevant stakeholders, as a result of the measures supported under the Fund 0 Estimation on the basis of corrected provisional figures in AMIF draft national programmes on 10/02/2015. 2014 data are not available yet (will become available in April 2016). 0 305 305 Indicator 4: Number of cooperation projects with other Member States on the integration of third-country nationals supported under the Fund 0 Estimation on the basis of corrected provisional figures in AMIF draft national programmes on 10/02/2015. 2014 data are not available yet (will become available in April 2016). 0 9 9 3 Breakdown of this information, according to Annex IV of the Regulation, will be provided in the annual implementation report. 6/82

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 2013 1 500 staff trained, 50 training courses 0 No information 750 staff trained, Target defined by extrapolating data available in 2014 25 training courses gathered from the EBF 2012-2013 annual programmes Indicator 2: Number of border control (checks and surveillance) infrastructure and means developed or upgraded with the help of the Instrument.

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 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 2013. 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. Specific Objective 3: Crime prevention, combating cross-border, serious and organised crime including terrorism, and reinforcing coordination and cooperation between law enforcement authorities and other national authorities of Member States Indicator 1: Cumulative number of joint investigation teams (JITs) and European Multidisciplinary Platform against Criminal Threats (EMPACT) operational projects supported by the Instrument, including the participating Member States and authorities.

In addition, assuming that the training intensity should increase over the years, after 2017 the numbers should be higher. The figure on person-days is based on the assumption that the average duration of a training course is two days Indicator 3: Number and financial value of projects in the area of crime prevention.

SIENA and EIS are the most relevant systems/ tools regarding this indicator. Within the life span of the fund all MS should establish data loaders and all should improve the connection to SIENA or conduct alternative projects in line with the aim mentioned in the indicator.
