3 1 Mission statement Home affairs policies are based on Europeans' core values and principles freedom, democracy, rule of law, equality, tolerance, and respect of human rights. The mission of the Directorate-General for Home Affairs (DG HOME) is to build an open and secure Europe; to create, on the basis of the principle of solidarity, an area of freedom, security and justice without internal borders where EU citizens and thirdcountry nationals may enter, move, live and work. We aim to ensure that all activities beneficial to the economic, cultural and social growth of the EU may develop in a stable, lawful and secure environment. Through our dialogue and cooperation with third countries on migration, asylum and security matters, as well as through our relations with strategic partners and our work in the international fora, we also aim at promoting the values underpinning the area of freedom, security and justice, at contributing to the successful building of it and at developing the Union s capacity to act as a significant partner in international relations. 2 This year's challenges 2014 will be a key year for home affairs policies; the Stockholm Programme which sets out the EU priorities for the area of justice, freedom and security for the period comes to an end. In this perspective, we will prepare and present in March the Commission's views for the future of the Home Affairs policies, to provide political impetus to a further development of Home Affairs policies and set a frame to the debate, while linking these issues with the EU 2020 growth strategy. The Commission's views will feed the European Council discussion in June. In 2014, we will also finalise the work on the implementing modalities of the new Home Affairs Funds. On the basis of the policy dialogues conducted in 2013 with all Member States and the Schengen Associated Countries, we will steer the programming of the funds and launch their implementation. The Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the Internal Security Fund will be the main financial instruments to support the implementation of the future home affairs policy priorities, except for the external dimension. The innovative multiannual perspective of these funds should lead to a more strategic approach linking better the policy priorities and EU financial support, taking into account specific national requirements and the need to ensure compliance with the EU acquis. Threats to safety and security in the EU remain high and evolve, and the EU's response needs to reflect this by deepening cooperation in tackling the increasing cross border dimension of crime and develop its instruments to prevent and combat terrorism. Terrorism needs to be tackled more at the source by preventive actions and by addressing radicalisation, terrorist propaganda and recruitment. To that end, we will present an EU programme on preventing radicalisation and recruitment to terrorism and violent extremism, to identify good practices for policies, methods and interventions in the field of preventing radicalisation and recruitment process. More and more third countries ask for passenger data for law enforcement purposes while, currently, the implementation of the rules for such transfers varies with the country requesting such data. This creates uncertainties among operators that are obliged DG HOME - Management Plan

4 to transfer the data. In collaboration with DG JUST for the data protection aspects, we will develop a policy initiative aiming at addressing this challenge and ensuring a coherent legal framework for the transfer of air passenger data to third countries. Another key focus of our action in 2014 will be to prepare for the implementation of the revised Schengen Evaluation Mechanism, which will be a key aspect of the new governance of the Schengen area. In 2014, DG HOME will continue developing a comprehensive approach as regards immigration and asylum, aimed at better managing migration flows and at ensuring protection for those who are in need. Regarding asylum, we will prepare for the implementation of the early warning, preparedness and crisis management mechanism, geared to addressing the root dysfunctional causes of national asylum systems or problems stemming from particular pressures. We will also continue to closely monitor the evolution of the refugee situation, particularly in relation to the Syrian crisis, deploying all relevant tools available in the context of the Common European Asylum System to make EU solidarity with those in need a reality. In a context where migration related challenges are still very much present, further progress in implementing the Global Approach to Migration and Mobility which provides an overarching framework for EU external asylum and migration policy will continue, in particular through Mobility Partnerships. Finally, together with DG JUST, we will prepare and present the position of the Commission on the challenges ensuing from the ending of the transition period regarding the enforcement powers of the institutions with respect to former third pillar acts in the field of police and judicial cooperation in criminal matters adopted before the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty (art. 10 of Protocol 36 on Transitional Provisions to the EU Treaties). The key performance indicators that DG HOME has chosen to measure the most critical aspects of its policy performance and give useful insight into DG HOME service s most significant achievements are the following: 1. Number of law enforcement officials trained on cross-border-related topics with the help of the Fund 2. Number of target group persons who received pre or post return reintegration assistance co-financed by the Fund 3. Number of consular posts equipped, secured and/or enhanced with the help of the Fund to ensure the efficient processing of visa applications and provide quality service to visa applicants 4. Number of mobility partnerships 5. Residual error rate for all DG HOME ABB activities DG HOME - Management Plan

5 Of course, it is impossible to communicate the variety and complexity of DG Home Affairs activities in just four a few numbers. These indicators do not substitute for comprehensive assessment and evaluation of our policies. As time goes by and our priorities evolve, we will keep these indicators under review. If appropriate, we will replace them with measures that better encapsulate our policy goals. Stefano Manservisi Director General DG HOME - Management Plan

11 Macedonia, Serbia, and Montenegro) 4 Specific Objectives for operational activities 4.1 ABB Activity 18 02: Security and safeguarding liberties Description and justification Guaranteeing security in Europe while ensuring respect for fundamental freedoms and integrity is a priority duly reflected by the TFEU. Article 67 TFEU stipulates that the EU should endeavour to ensure a high level of security through, inter alia, measures to prevent and combat crime. Ever increasing globalisation and the expansion of international trade allows organised crime to expand its activities and enter into new areas, usually driven by a high profit, low risk approach. The impact of the financial crisis on the European economy has put additional pressure on the Europeans and their governments, calling for reinforcing guarantees for integrity and transparency of public expenditure. In that context, it is increasingly important that law enforcement has the ability to work effectively across borders and jurisdictions. In this regard, there is a clear added value in Union interventions compared to Member States acting alone as the Union is in a better position and can secure better results than Member States when it comes to addressing cross-border situations and providing a platform for common approaches. Action at the level of the Union, in particular through the EU policy cycle for organised and serious international crime, also complements the work carried out by Member States' authorities. In that context, within the framework of the EU internal security strategy, this activity aims at preventing and fighting organised crime and terrorism, ensuring more effective EU law enforcement cooperation, including through EUROPOL, managing better the flow of information, enhancing the efficiency and the coordination of the agencies operating in this field, promoting the exchange of best practices, mobilising the necessary technological tools, forging a common European law enforcement culture and working with key third countries. It also implies activities related to the management of security related incidents and crisis, the development of EU risk and threat assessments, the reduction of threats from CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear) and explosives, the protection of critical infrastructures. The threats from Chemical, Biological, Radiological and Nuclear substances and explosives (CBRNE) remain high and are evolving. They are common to all EU Member States and know no borders and therefore need to be tackled at EU level. Equally the protection of critical infrastructures in Europe is crucial. By ensuring a high degree of protection of EU wide infrastructures and increasing their resilience (against all threats and hazards), we can minimise the consequences of loss of vital services to our society. Threats to a single critical infrastructure can also have a significant impact on actors in different infrastructures, both within the same sector and between sectors, and the effects of such interdependencies can also span over a number of European countries.

12 As regards addressing trafficking in human beings, the EU Anti-Trafficking Coordinator is providing overall coordination and increasing coherence on thematic policies and funding allocations. As far as borders are concerned, the establishment of an area of freedom, security and justice allows a person to cross internal borders without being submitted to border checks. Flanking measures include external border controls, the common visa policy, and the implementation and development of the provisions of the Schengen acquis (including on travel document security) to prevent persons who do not fulfil the entry conditions from entering the area of free movement and make entry into this area as smooth as possible for bona fide persons. This activity also contributes to further developing an integrated border management including the enhancement of FRONTEX, the development of new systems relevant for external border control and the coordination of different authorities acting at external borders. The Europe 2020 Strategy recognises that technology can play a key role in improving security as indicated in the Digital Agenda for Europe flagship initiative. In this regard, this activity aims at promoting research and deployment of modern and accessible services in the area of security, and foresees delivering support for the preparation, implementation, management and coordination of the large-scale IT systems, including the biometric aspects needed for effective border control and visa procedures. Largescale IT systems include (a) the second generation Schengen Information System (SIS II) allowing all border posts, police stations and consular agents from Schengen States to access data on specific individuals, in particular, for whom entry to the Schengen area has been refused, persons wanted for arrest or missing persons as well as data on vehicles or objects which have been lost, stolen, misappropriated or invalidated; the SIS II started operations on 9 April 2013 and (b) the Visa Information System (VIS) for the exchange of visa data between Member States to prevent visa shopping, to facilitate the fight against fraud and to facilitate checks at external border crossing points and within the territory of the Member States; the VIS started operations on 11 October Large scale IT systems also include the future Entry/Exit System (EES) and the Registered Traveller Programme (RTP). These constitute the building blocks for setting up "smarter borders", relying on new technologies to speed up and simplify border crossings without lowering security and hindering border crossings. Furthermore, a European Agency for the operational management of large-scale IT systems in the area of freedom, security and justice EU-LISA has been set up and started operations on 1 December It is financially independent since 22 May 2013 and has been entrusted with the operational management of SIS II and VIS. In an area without internal border control on persons, where one Member State carries out border control on behalf and for the sake of all other Member States, one of the main objectives of the European Union is to set common rules and standards for the management of external borders. Moreover, since the free movement of persons is a key Union achievement, a decision at EU level is warranted in case of serious threats to public policy or internal security which require the limited reintroduction of border control at internal borders. The Internal Security Fund will be the main instrument to support the implementation of the Internal Security Strategy and a coherent and comprehensive approach to law enforcement cooperation, including the management of the Union's external borders.

13 This activity will also be covered with the funding for the European Police College, Europol and FRONTEX. Available human and financial resources ABB Activity 18 02: Security and safeguarding liberties Operational expenditure Financial resources ( ) in commitment appropriations Administrative expenditure (managed by the service) Total Establishment plan posts Human resources Estimates of external personnel (in FTEs) Total Management mode and intervention logic for activities corresponding to spending programmes The internal Security Fund will mainly be under the shared management mode for 65%- 70% of its appropriation. The spending will be made through national programmes to be implemented by the Member States. The remaining share (30%-35%) of the Internal Security Fund will be under the direct management mode. The spending will be made through Union actions selected through calls for proposals that will be issued throughout the programming period. The fund will be implemented both by the Member States under shared management and by the Commission, under direct and indirect management. In relation to internal security, the Fund will provide financial support under its Police (ISF-P) component, for police cooperation, crime prevention and the fight against serious cross-border crime, as well as for crisis management and the protection of EU critical infrastructure. In the area of external borders, the Internal Security Fund, in its Borders component (ISF-B), will support with the EU budget Member States' efforts on border control and visa policy and will do this in a more consistent and systematic way, based on the notion of border control as a 'public service' carried out by the Member States in the interest of and on behalf of the EU. The global resources under the ISF-P will be implemented through: national programmes, Union actions, technical assistance and emergency assistance. The global resources under the ISF-B will be implemented through: national programmes, operating support, the functioning of the Special Transit Scheme, Union actions, emergency assistance, programme for setting up new IT systems and technical assistance. In this case, under the national programmes, the MS will have the possibility to increase their national allocations by participating in Specific Actions. The Internal Security Fund will be implemented in close coordination with the European Structural and Investment Fund in order to ensure the coherence and complementarity between different financial instruments. Moreover, the new multiannual perspective of the new funds will reinforce the strategic approach to achieve the political objectives in the areas of internal security and border management.

The decision-making procedure that applies for legal migration since the entry into force of the Lisbon Treaty is the normal legislative procedure (qualified majority in Council and co-decision of Council and European Parliament). The Lisbon Treaty has also introduced an explicit legal basis on integration. Given the above, the long-term aim is to create an open and secure European Union, fully committed to international protection obligations, in which there is effective management of legal migration and reduction of irregular migration and where third-country nationals legally residing in the Union, including those who receive protection, are harmoniously integrated into our societies. Some Member States bear a heavy burden due to their specific geographic situation and the length of the external borders of the Union that they have to manage. The principles DG HOME - Management Plan

22 of solidarity and fair sharing of responsibilities between Member States are therefore at the heart of the common policies on asylum and immigration. This is an area where there is therefore an obvious added value in taking measures at EU level and at mobilising the EU budget, as the management of asylum and migration flows presents challenges which cannot be dealt with by the Member States acting alone. The main financial instrument ensuring the support of this aim is the Asylum and Migration Fund (AMF) while the previous financial instruments related to asylum and migration, in particular, the "European Fund for the Integration of third-country nationals" and the "European Refugee Fund" as well as the "European Return Fund" will be phasing out. The AMF aims to address the issue of a fair sharing of responsibilities between Member States as concerns the financial burden arising from the implementation of common policies on asylum and immigration. It also provides support for external actions, emergency measures, administrative cooperation and transnational actions in this area. Migration In terms of legislation, an extensive acquis has been developed at EU level on both legal (six Directives in force, one close to adoption, two under negotiations) and irregular migration (covering return of third-country nationals, sanctions for employers of irregularly staying third-country nationals, and smuggling). As regards legal migration, having common standards on entry and admission for various categories of third-country national migrants, rather than 28 different systems, improves the efficiency and transparency of the immigration system. This aspect, together with the inclusion in the legal instruments of a right to equal treatment in various areas (e.g. working conditions), as well as rights to family reunification and procedural guarantees, increase the attractiveness of the EU as a destination for migrants, particularly for the highly-skilled, as well as for students and researchers. This is crucial to ensure that migration can effectively contribute to the EU economic development and competitiveness. The Commission will therefore continue throughout 2014 negotiations on the proposal on the conditions of entry and residence of third-country nationals for the purposes of research, studies, pupil exchange, remunerated and unremunerated training, voluntary service and au-pairing, and will ensure finalisation of the negotiations of the Seasonal Workers and Intra-Corporate Transferees Directives. It will in pa rallel examine tools for improving job and skills matching of third country nationals, bearing in mind shortages in key sectors of the European economy (health, information technologies etc.). It needs to be born in mind, however, that Member States remain responsible for determining the volumes of admission of third-country national coming from third countries to their territory in order to seek work, whether employed or self-employed (Article 79(5) TFEU). Therefore, policies developed at EU level, while they contribute to increasing the attractiveness of the EU for certain categories of third-country nationals (e.g. highly skilled, researchers) by setting harmonised and more attractive conditions, might not have a direct and immediate influence on the number of permits issued for those purposes. Integration policy is also an important aspect of successful and sustainable migration. According to the legal basis in article 79(4) of TFEU, EU measures can provide incentives and support for the action of Member States to further develop their integration policies. Moreover, the EU 2020 Strategy specifically mentions increasing the DG HOME - Management Plan

23 employment rate through better integration of legally present migrants. Indicators for monitoring of integration policies and draft European modules supportive of integration policies on which work was carried out in 2012 and 2013 following the 2011 European Agenda on integration will be further developed in 2014 and finalised into a flexible reference framework for stakeholders in the Member States. Structures for dialogue and exchange of knowledge between different governance levels will develop further and mainstreaming of integration priorities in all relevant policy areas continue. Financial support to integration policies will continue to be provided through the AMF and the numbers of persons benefiting from integration measures, as well as the development of national, regional and local strategies, constitute good and measurable indicators of the impact of actions at EU level on integration. At the same time, while effective integration policies do have a positive impact also on the economic integration and thus the participation of third-country nationals to the labour market, this is obviously influenced also by other factors beyond the remit of DG HOME competences, such as the overall economic situation of the host Member State, the structure of its labour market etc. Therefore, while integration policies certainly contribute to the achievement of one of the EU2020 targets the gradual approximation of employment rates of third-country nationals and EU nationals it is difficult to put precise quantitative targets and milestones in that respect. A credible and sustainable return policy at EU level is as well necessary within the framework of a comprehensive approach to migration, addressing both legal and irregular migration. Return of irregularly staying third-country nationals, having no legal grounds to stay in the EU, should be effectively carried out in order to ensure the credibility of EU legal migration (and asylum) policy, in full respect of migrants fundamental rights and dignity. The correct implementation of the Return Directive (2008/115/EC) will continue to be monitored, so to ensure both the effectiveness of return procedures in Member States and their full compliance with the standards set by the Directive and with human rights standards in general. To that purpose, the AMF will continue to finance voluntary return programmes as well as training on return relatedtopics. The Commission will as well present a Communication on Return policy early The monitoring and enforcement of the current migration acquis will also continue, to ensure its correct and effective implementation. Reports will be issued in 2004 in relation to the application of Directive 2009/50/EC ( Blue Card ), Directive 2009/52/EC (Employers Sanctions) and Directive 2004/81/EC (permits for victims of trafficking). Asylum In light of the objective of establishing a common area of protection and solidarity based on a common asylum procedure and a uniform status for those granted international protection, the EU acquis on asylum has been revised in that sense with all recast legislative instruments adopted by June While the Common European Asylum System (CEAS) should be based on high protection standards, due regard should also be given to fair and effective procedures capable of preventing abuse. It is crucial that individuals, regardless of the Member State in which their application for asylum is lodged, are offered an equivalent level of treatment as regards reception conditions, and the same level as regards procedural arrangements and status determination. The objective should be that similar cases should be treated alike and result in the same outcome. DG HOME - Management Plan

24 In 2014, in order to contribute to establishing a common area of protection and solidarity, the emphasis will be put on: - Monitoring the transposition and the correct implementation of the EU acquis on asylum: Qualification Directive, Reception Conditions directive, Asylum Procedure Directive, Eurodac and Dublin regulations (all recast versions of the EU asylum acquis having been adopted at the latest in June 2013). Eurodac and Dublin regulations as well as the Qualification Directive will be applicable in 2014). This monitoring is essential to achieve a common asylum procedure and a uniform status for those granted international protection. - Cooperation with EASO: steering the strategic direction of the agency and ensure constant liaison at technical level to ensure maximum effectiveness of EASO support to Member States. Cooperation with EASO, which is the key actor in terms of practical cooperation in the field of asylum, is at the heart of the Commission action to ensure the consistent implementation of the high protection standards, with fair and effective procedures capable of preventing abuse consistency between Member States. In relation to the external dimension of home affairs, it is clear that the adoption of measures and the pooling of resources at EU level will increase significantly the EU leverage necessary to convince third countries to engage with the EU on those migration and asylum related issues which are primarily in the interest of the EU and the Member States. Particular emphasis will be placed on encouraging Member States to engage in resettlement and on putting in place and reinforcing Regional Protection Programmes (RPPs) whose primary objective is to strengthen the protection capacities of third countries concerned. Moreover, the European Migration Network, set up by Council Decision 2008/381/EC, will continue to play a key role in providing up-to-date, objective, reliable and comparable information on migration and asylum topics to policy makers - at EU and Member State level - and the general public.
