Paragraph 11 a (new)
11a. Notes that the authorities plan to utilise the maximum allowed 35% of total costs for the coordinated package of personalised services on allowances and incentives in form of training allowance (Transferkurzarbeitergeld) constituting 60% or 67% of the worker previous net income – depending on the household situation of the beneficiary;
Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 b (new)
Paragraph 11 b (new)
11b. Emphasises that funding provided for training allowance (in the present case Transferkurzarbeitergeld) must not replace the legal obligation of the Member State or the former employer; calls on both the Commission and the Member State to provide clear and coherent information to specify to what extent Transferkurzarbeitergeld constitutes a legal obligation once the Transfergesellschaft has been set up; requests coherence in both funding practice and information to the Parliament; expects, therefore, the Commission to provide thorough and coherent analysis and details on the elements that go beyond the legal obligations of the Member States; reiterates its position that EGF funding should be used for ‘Transferkurzarbeitergeld’ in order to enable the transfer company to go beyond what it could normally do for the workers, by providing more personalised and in- depth measures than would be possible without EGF support; emphasises that Parliament will continue to monitor that the EGF is not used to replace obligations by a Member State or a company;
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution
Paragraph 11 c (new)
Paragraph 11 c (new)

Paragraph 12 a (new)
Paragraph 12 a (new)
