ATHENS: The European Commission approved on Monday a 2.4-billion-euro program for 19 European Union countries that aims to provide solutions to the migration crisis.
Greece will receive a total of 473 million euros from two distinct funds. 259,348,877 euros of Greece’s funds will come from the Asylum Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF) that deals with migrant and refugee reception conditions. “The AMIF funding supports national efforts to improve reception capacity, ensure that asylum procedures are in line with EU standards, integrate migrants at local and regional levels and increase the effectiveness of return programs,” the European Commission announcement read.
The remaining 214,844,038 euros will come from the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and will go toward various security fronts.
