The Council of the European Union agreed on 19 June 2015 to increase the European Union's budget for 2015 to respond to migratory pressures in the Mediterranean sea.

The Council treated this draft amending budget no 5 as a matter of urgency and high political priority, thus backing up proposal by the European Commission to provide for additional resources to manage migration and refugee flows by €89 million in commitments and €76.6 million in payments in a fast-track procedure.
