Johannes Hahn, Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations: "The current refugee crisis is a challenge of global dimensions. We have to work hand in hand with our partners and neighbouring countries beyond EU borders which are most affected."

The European Commission supports migration-related actions in enlargement and neighbourhood countries through pre-accession (IPA) and neighbourhood funds (ENI). See below for more details.

Turkey currently hosts more than 3 million registered Syrian refugees and the EU is committed to assist Turkey in dealing with this challenge. The EU Facility for Refugees in Turkey, managing a total of 3 billion EUR for 2016 and 2017, provides for a joint coordination mechanism, designed to ensure that the needs of refugees and host communities in Turkey are addressed in a comprehensive and coordinated manner. The Facility focuses on humanitarian assistance, education, migration management, health, municipal infrastructure, and socio-economic support.
