Financing

Our budget for the period 2007-13 amounts to EUR 6.4 billion through which we finance actions related to the management of the EU's external border, the application of the common asylum and immigration policies and European cooperation in the fight against organised crime and terrorism.

To help carry out our tasks, we make use of public contracts that we award through procurement procedures. At times, we also call on experts to provide us with opinions and advice on specific topics.

Funding

We fund both national and EU level actions through the "Solidarity and the Management of Migration Flows" and the "Security and Safeguarding Liberties" programmes.

Tenders

We invite companies to compete for our public contracts.

External experts

We call for applications from external experts to assist us in developing sound policies.
