The first Steering Committee meeting of the Facility for Refugees in Turkey was held in Brussels on 17 February 2016, chaired by the European Commission with the participation of all European Union Member States plus Turkey in an advisory capacity. The Committee gave the Commission the mandate to immediately implement the 2016 contribution from the EU budget to provide more urgently needed humanitarian aid and access to education for refugee children in Turkey. The progressive delivery of the assistance is conditional on the implementation by Turkey of its commitments under the EU-Turkey Joint Action Plan. |
