Main Body
On 30 July 2026, the European Commission launched 3 calls for proposals under the Migration Partnership Facility, with €14 million allocated to cooperation between EU member states and priority partner countries. The European Commission said the package covered migration partnerships, border management and internal security.
According to the European Commission, €6 million was assigned to migration partnerships, €5 million to border management and €3 million to internal security. The European Commission said the projects were intended to improve legal frameworks, border controls and security measures linked to migration cooperation.
The announcement followed wider EU attention to external dependencies and strategic risks. On 30 July 2026, the European Parliament recorded a written question from Christine Anderson on hybrid threats and foreign-controlled charging infrastructure, while on 27 July 2026 the European Parliament recorded a question on the EU strategic partnership with Azerbaijan and its compatibility with EU Treaty obligations.
The funding mattered because the European Commission linked external migration partnerships with border and internal security capacity. The parallel European Parliament question on hybrid threats showed that EU institutions were also examining infrastructure vulnerability as part of the broader security agenda.
