A notice of meeting published by the Council of the European Union on 30 June 2026 schedules a meeting of the JHA Counsellors (Mixed Committee with Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein) for 3 July 2026 at 10:00 in Brussels. The meeting will examine revised Presidency compromise texts for three new financial instruments covering the 2028-2034 period: the Schengen/Border Management/Visa (BMV) Regulation, the Asylum, Migration and Integration (AMI) Regulation, and the Internal Security (IS) Regulation.
The meeting, to be held at the Justus Lipsius Building in a 1+2 format (delegates plus two officials), is divided into COMIX and non-COMIX items. Under COMIX items, with the participation of Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein, the agenda includes adoption of the agenda and examination of the revised Presidency compromise text (document 9566/26 REV 2) for the BMV Regulation. Under non-COMIX items, for EU member states only, the counsellors will examine revised texts for the AMI Regulation (9569/26 REV 2) and the IS Regulation (9567/26 REV 2). Any other business concludes the agenda.
The three regulations are part of the EU's multiannual financial framework for justice and home affairs, aiming to allocate funding for border management, migration, and internal security from 2028 to 2034. The revised compromise texts reflect ongoing negotiations among member states to balance priorities such as strengthening external borders, managing migration flows, and enhancing security cooperation.
EU member states will be directly affected by the allocation of funds and conditions attached to each instrument. Schengen-associated states (Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Liechtenstein) will have a say only on the BMV instrument, limiting their influence on migration and security funding. EU agencies such as Frontex and the European Asylum Support Office may see changes in their resource envelopes. Civil society organisations working on migration and asylum could be impacted by the AMI regulation's priorities, which may shift between integration support and return measures.
After the JHA Counsellors' examination, the revised texts will likely be submitted to the Committee of Permanent Representatives (Coreper) for further negotiation, and ultimately to the Council for adoption, with the European Parliament's consent required under the ordinary legislative procedure.
