Priority question for written answer P-001446/2025
to the Commission
Rule 144
Fabrice Leggeri (PfE)
Euroactive[1] reports that, in a migration-focused letter to EU leaders ahead of the 20 March 2025 European Council, Commission President Ursula von der Leyen called for the implementation of the European Migration and Asylum Pact to be sped up.
The letter also mentions an additional EUR 3 billion from the EU to implement the pact from 2025 to 2027.
The letter goes on to say that a further EUR 1.6 billion from the mid-term review of Member States’ programmes will address urgent needs and complement the pact’s funding, requiring adjustments in national budgets.
- 1.Can the Commission confirm the plans for an additional EUR 4.6 billion in funding to implement the pact?
- 2.Given that the letter states the pact’s funding must be complemented by adjustments in national budgets, can the Commission say how much will be requested from each Member State?
- 3.Since some governments are reluctant to implement the pact, how does the Commission intend to convince them to do so?
