Fourteen million euros funding to help manage illegal immigration 11-07-2007 The European Commission has launched two calls for proposals to funding
short-term actions to address EU Member States' difficulties with illegal
immigration. One call covers actions to provide adequate reception conditions
for illegal immigrants. The other call covers the return of illegal immigrants
to their countries of origin. A total of seven million euros is available for
each call.
The Commission notes that there is a specific need for activities to address
problems caused by the large number of asylum seekers arriving from Iraq, as
well as those crossing the Mediterranean from North Africa. Funding will be made
available for actions to improve the way this return is managed, as well as for
reintegration assistance for the people involved. Applications from public
authorities, as well as non-governmental and international organisations are
welcomed.
