On 22 April 2022, the Commission submitted to the Council draft amending budget (DAB) No 3 to the general budget for 2022 concerning the financing of reception costs of people fleeing Ukraine.
The aim of this proposal is to contribute to the financing, in the Member States, of the first reception and registration costs of people fleeing Ukraine as a consequence of the Russian aggression against Ukraine.
More specifically, DAB strengthens the financing of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) and the Border Management and Visa Instrument (BMVI). The additional EUR 99.8 million in commitment appropriations and EUR 76 million in payment appropriations for AMIF and EUR 100 million in payment appropriations for BMVI will help to ensure that people fleeing Ukraine benefit from adequate first reception in one of the Member States.
On 16 May 2022, the Council adopted its position on DAB No 3 to the general budget for 2022 as set out in the technical annex contained in the technical annex to this explanatory memorandum.
