4.15.1. Pledges for resettlement and humanitarian admissions 

EU resettlement schemes are based on national pledges corresponding to the number of third-country nationals that Member States commit to admit yearly. To support resettlement efforts, every year the European Commission launches a pledging exercise through AMIF,1267  by which countries commit to receive a certain number of refugees as part of resettlement and humanitarian admission programmes. Although not all national commitments are connected to AMIF funding, pledges submitted to the European Commission give an idea of the overall number of refugees to be received in the EU under these programmes in the following year.
