The purpose of this EUR 43.9 million reinforcement of the management of migratory and refugee flows is to equip the existing agencies and support instruments in this area with the resources necessary in order for them to be able to support the multifaceted response that the EU is attempting to give to recent events in the southern Mediterranean. The high migratory pressure felt in this region has led to the need to step up Union action taken through the External Borders Fund, the European Return Fund and the European Refugee Fund. Support for the efforts of the Member States most directly involved should be increased, so as to alleviate the considerable burden falling on them, so giving expression to the fundamental principle of solidarity. The capabilities of the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex) should also be improved, specifically so that it can undertake maritime security activities on the Mediterranean.
I am voting for this report which enables clarification of the Council’s contradictory positions: on the one hand, during its reading of the draft EU budget for 2012, it proposed a cut in the funding allocated to managing migratory and refugee flows and, on the other, it has approved the stepping up of a number of actions and programmes to be undertaken by Frontex, as well as other instruments in this area."@en1
