Report from the Commission to the European Parliament and the Council on the implementation of the Schengen part of the temporary Cash-flow and Schengen Facility (2007-2009) for Bulgaria and Romania

The Cash-flow and Schengen Facility was created by Article 32(1) of the Act of Accession of Bulgaria and Romania to the European Union as a temporary instrument to help Bulgaria and Romania to finance actions at the new external borders of the Union for the implementation of the Schengen acquis and external border control and to help improve cash-flow in national budgets.

Article 32(3) of the Accession Act stipulates that at least 50% of the funding provided by the instrument should have been used to support Bulgaria and Romania in their obligation to finance actions at the new external borders of the Union for the implementation of the Schengen acquis and external border control.

The purpose of this report is:
- to provide summary information on the implementation of the Schengen part of the temporary Cash-flow and Schengen Facility (Schengen Facility II); and
- to present the results of the ex-post evaluation of the instrument.
