MEPs agreed to make €100 million available for the Facility over four years - as proposed by the European Commission, but stressed during the debate that these funds do not have to come from the "Progress" programme, which was set up to help vulnerable groups of people.
Eiropas Komisija piedāvāja Mikrofinansējuma instrumentu finansēt no šīs programmas, jo "Progresam" jau ir atvēlēti papildu 114 miljoni eiro pēc Parlamenta pieprasījuma.
