MANAGING THE REFUGEE CRISIS
EU Financial Support to Greece
05 October 2016 
Asylum, Migration and integration Fund/ Internal Security Fund/ Emergency Assistance
Addressing the refugee crisis and managing our external borders are top priorities for the European Union. The Asylum, Migration and 
Integration Fund (AMIF) supports Greek national efforts to improve reception capacities, ensure that asylum pro cedures are in line with 
Union standards, integrate migrants at local and regional levels and increase the effectiveness of return programmes. The Internal Security 
Fund (ISF) supports national efforts to achieve a uniform and high level of control of the external borders and to fight cross-border 
organised crime. To support the Greek authorities as well as international organisations and NGOs operating in Greece in managing the 
refugee and humanitarian crisis, the Commission has awarded over €352 million in emergency assistance since the beginning of 2015. 
The emergency funding comes on top of the €509 million already allocated to Greece under the national programmes for 2014-2020 
(€294.5 million from AMIF and €214.7 million from ISF).
Emergency support instrument
In urgent and exceptional circumstances, the European Commission can fund emergency humanitarian support for people in need within 
the European Union. The Emergency Support Instrument aims to provide a faster, more targeted way to respond to major crises. This 
includes helping Member States cope with large numbers of refugees, with humanitarian funding channelled to UN agencies, non-
governmental organisations and international organisations in close coordination and consultation with Member States. Up to €700 million 
is planned over 2016-18;  €198 million in funding for projects have been announced so far in 2016.
