As part of the mid-term revision of the Multiannual-Financial Framework (MFF), the European Commission asked Member States to increase their budget contributions. About half of the new resources will be used to support the reconstruction of Ukraine and to top up both internal and external migration priorities.

The migration pillar will receive a substantial boost of new resources for an overall total of 15 billion EUR:

• On internal migration, in the wake of the recent advancements on the Pact, the Commission is proposing to expand the Heading 4 “Migration and Border Management” by 2 billion EUR for 2024 – 2027. 
   
• On external policies, the Commission is proposing to expand Heading 6 “Neighbourhood and the World” by 10.5 billion EUR. The Commission justifies the need for the increase to (1) maintain similar levels of funding available under the European Trust Fund for Africa within the Neighbourhood, Development, and International Cooperation Instrument; (2) support countries hosting Syrian refugees like Lebanon, Turkey and Jordan; (3) provide support to partner countries, such as the recently promised Macro-Financial Assistance loan to Tunisia and assistance to the Western Balkans.
   
• The proposal also includes a top-up on humanitarian aid reserves that are going to be exhausted for support to the earthquakes in Syria and Turkyie, with additional 2.5 billion EUR for the Solidarity and Emergency Aid Reserve to address natural disasters and public health crises.
