AMMR:
Article 61 – Deduction of solidarity contributions in cases of migratory pressure

1. A Member State that is identified in a decision as referred to in Article 11 as being under migratory pressure or that considers itself to be under migratory pressure and which has not made use of the Annual Solidarity Pool in accordance with Article 58 or notified the need to use the Annual Solidarity Pool in accordance with Article 59, may, at any time, request a partial or full deduction of its pledged contributions set out in the Council implementing act referred to in Article 57.

The Member State concerned shall submit its request to the Commission. For information purposes, the Member State concerned shall transmit its request to the Council.

2. Where the requesting Member State referred to in paragraph 1 of this Article is a Member State that is not identified in a decision as referred to in Article 11 as being under migratory pressure, but considers itself to be under migratory pressure, that Member State shall include in its request:

(a) a description of how the full or partial deduction of its pledged contributions could help stabilising the situation;

(b) whether the pledged contribution could be replaced with a different type of solidarity contribution;

(c) how that Member State will address any possible identified vulnerabilities in the area of responsibility, preparedness or resilience;

(d) a duly substantiated reasoning on the existence and extent of the migratory pressure in the requesting Member State.

When assessing such a request, the Commission shall also take into account the information set out in Articles 9 and 10.

3. The Commission shall inform the Council of its assessment of the request within four weeks following the receipt of the request submitted in accordance with this Article. The Commission shall also inform the European Parliament of that assessment.

4. Following the receipt of the Commission’s assessment, the Council shall adopt an implementing act to determine whether the Member State is authorised to derogate from the Council implementing act referred to in Article 57.
