Malta is to get almost €19 million in grants to be used by the Agency for the Welfare of Asylum Seekers, the Civil Protection Department and the Armed Forces of Malta.
Parliamentary Secretary for EU Presidency 2017 and EU Funds Ian Borg said that the AFM will be receiving €16 million to buy a third new aeroplane.
The AFM funding also includes improving the storage and security of munitions.
Parliamentary Secretary Borg declared that more projects will be approved in the coming weeks under the Internal Security Fund (ISF) and Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund (AMIF), which aim to consolidate and strengthen Malta’s security mechanisms, as well as facilitating integration of third country nationals in our shores.
