REGULATION (EU) No 515/2014 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 16 April 2014
establishing, as part of the Internal Security Fund, the instrument for financial support for external borders and visa and repealing Decision No 574/2007/EC
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, and in particular Article 77(2) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
After transmission of the draft legislative act to the national parliaments,
Having regard to the opinion of the European Economic and Social Committee (1),
Having regard to the opinion of the Committee of the Regions (2),
Acting in accordance with the ordinary legislative procedure (3),
Whereas:
(1) |
The Union’s objective of ensuring a high level of security within an area of freedom, security and justice pursuant to Article 67(3) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the Union (TFEU) should be achieved, inter alia, through common measures on the crossing of internal borders by persons and on border controls at external borders and the common visa policy as part of a convergent multi-layer system, which would allow the exchange of data and a complete situation awareness and which aims to facilitate legitimate travel and to tackle illegal immigration. |
(2) |
The Union needs a more coherent approach to the internal and external aspects of migration management and internal security, and should establish a correlation between the fight against illegal immigration and the improvement of the security of the external borders of the Union, and better cooperation and dialogue with third countries for the purposes of dealing with illegal immigration and promoting legal migration. |
(3) |
It is necessary to develop an integrated approach to issues arising from the pressure of migration and asylum applications and for the management of the external borders of the Union, and to provide a budget and adequate resources to cope with emergencies in a spirit of respect for human rights and solidarity between all Member States, while remaining aware of national responsibilities and ensuring a clear division of tasks. |
(4) |
The Internal Security Strategy for the European Union (the ‘Internal Security Strategy’), adopted by the Council in February 2010, constitutes a shared agenda for tackling these common security challenges. The Commission Communication of November 2010, entitled ‘The EU Internal Security Strategy in Action’, translates the strategy’s principles and guidelines into concrete actions by identifying five strategic objectives: to disrupt international crime networks, to prevent terrorism and address radicalisation and recruitment, to raise levels of security for citizens and businesses in cyberspace, to strengthen security through border management and to increase Europe’s resilience in the face of crises and disasters. |
(5) |
According to the Internal Security Strategy, freedom, security and justice are objectives that should be pursued in parallel, and in order to achieve freedom and justice, security should always be pursued in accordance with the principles of the Treaties, the rule of law and the Union’s fundamental rights obligations. |
(6) |
Solidarity among Member States, clarity about the division of tasks, respect for fundamental freedoms and human rights and the rule of law, a strong focus on the global perspective and the link with external security, and consistency and coherence with the Union foreign policy objectives, as laid down in Article 21 of the Treaty on European Union (TEU), should be key principles guiding the implementation of the Internal Security Strategy. |
