"The 2011 EU budget was definitively adopted on 15 December 2010. Throughout the first six months of 2011, the EU helped the political changes of the Arab Spring in several countries of the southern Mediterranean, where a number of peoples, supported by the EU, overthrew decades-old totalitarian regimes. These events sparked significant migratory flows towards other countries, specifically in southern Europe. As this extraordinary expenditure had not been foreseen, on 17 July 2011, pursuant to Article 314 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, the Commission tabled Draft amending budget No 4, which the Council adopted on 12 September 2011. This draft amending budget includes a reinforcement of EUR 41.1 million in commitment appropriations and payment appropriations for the External Borders Fund, the European Return Fund and the European Refugee Fund, so as to finance transnational actions in emergency situations, to which can be added a EUR 54 million reinforcement of the European Agency for the Management of Operational Cooperation at the External Borders of the Member States of the European Union (Frontex) for maritime security. I welcome the adoption of this draft amending budget, since the EU has to honour its commitments, especially where human rights are at stake."@en1
