The Commission has paid €3.5 billion in advance payments to Member States to help them manage the arrival of people fleeing the war in Ukraine on their territory.
- 27 April 2022
The payments for REACT-EU were made under the EU’s Cohesion’s Action for Refugees in Europe (CARE).
Following the invasion by Russia on 24 February, the Commission has mobilised every effort to support civilians fleeing from the war, and to help Member States to host and take care of them.
In particular, it has introduced the possibility to flexibly mobilise the available resources from cohesion policy within the 2014-2020 programmes, the possibility for 100% co-financing and has proposed to increase by €3.5 billion the pre-financing under REACT-EU.
Member States can now make full advantage of the opportunities introduced by the Commission.
The EU contribution will alleviate the additional burden on public budgets of Member States as the expenditure that can be covered is retroactively eligible from the date of the invasion of Ukraine.
