Call for proposals for Community Actions 2013

The objective of the Fund is to contribute to the development of a common European integrated border management system. It was established as a part of financial solidarity mechanisms to support Member States that endure, for the benefit of the European
Union, a lasting financial burden arising from the implementation of common standards on control and surveillance of external borders and visa policy.

The budget for Community Actions for 2013 is EUR 13.048.562, of which EUR 3.548.562 is reserved for the current call. This amount may be increased (subject to budgetary availability by the time the award decision is taken).

The eligible actions for the two categories covered by this call are described below:

1.a Setting up and further development of common visa application centres
1.b Consular co-operation and training programmes for consular staff

Category 2: Regional cooperation and exchange of information on migration flows between the Member States with the possibility to connect with third countries with the aim of counteracting irregular migration

Deadline for application
