Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 April 2014 laying down general provisions on the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and on the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management, and in particular Article 53(5) thereof,

(1)
Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 lays down general provisions for the implementation of the Asylum, Migration and Integration Fund and the instrument for financial support for police cooperation, preventing and combating crime, and crisis management.
(2)
It is necessary to ensure that the financial support of the Union is visibly acknowledged so that the role played by the Union in funding programmes may become more widely known. Information and publicity measures should thus contain specific information indicating the involvement of the Union, including the emblem of the Union. For the sake of consistency, the emblem of the Union should appear in a standard format.
(3)
The United Kingdom and Ireland are bound by Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 and are as a consequence bound by this Regulation.
(4)
Denmark is not bound by Regulation (EU) No 514/2014 nor by this Regulation.
(5)
In order to allow for the prompt application of the measures provided for in this Regulation and not delay the approval of the national programmes, the Regulation should enter into force on the day following that of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union.
(6)
The measures provided for in this Regulation are in accordance with the opinion of the Asylum, Migration and Internal Security Funds Committee,
