PURPOSE: to mobilise the European Globalisation Fund in respect of redundancies in the manufacturing of wooden products in Spain.

LEGISLATIVE ACT: Decision 2010/338/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management.

CONTENT: by this Decision, the European Parliament and the Council have decided to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for a total amount of EUR 1 950 000 in commitment and payment appropriations in respect of redundancies in the manufacturing of wooden products in Spain.

Given that Spain’s application fulfils the eligibility criteria set up by the EGF Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006), Parliament and the Council have decided to mobilise the above-mentioned amount.

To recall, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund was established to provide additional support to workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market. The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the Fund within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. It should also be noted that the scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.

The European Parliament adopted, by 580 votes against 50, with 24 abstentions, a resolution approving the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for a total amount of EUR 1 950 000 in commitment and payment appropriations in respect of redundancies in the manufacturing of wooden products in Spain.

Parliament recalls that the European Union set up the appropriate legislative and budgetary instruments to provide additional support to workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist their reintegration into the labour market.

Noting that Spain has requested assistance in respect of cases concerning 585 redundancies in 36 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 division 16 ('Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork except furniture in the region of Castilla-La Mancha and that this application fulfils the eligibility criteria set up by the EGF Regulation, Parliament requests the institutions involved to make the necessary efforts to accelerate the mobilisation of the EGF for the requested amount.

Parliament recalls the institutions' commitment to ensure a smooth and rapid procedure for the adoption of the decisions on the mobilisation of the EGF, providing one-off, time-limited individual support geared to helping workers who have suffered redundancies as a result of globalisation.

In addition, Parliament recalls that:

the EGF should support the reintegration of the individual redundant workers into employment and that assistance from the EGF shall not replace actions which are the responsibility of companies by virtue of national law or collective agreements, nor measures restructuring companies or sectors; in the context of mobilising the EGF, the Commission should not systematically transfer payment appropriations from the ESF, since the EGF was created as a separate specific instrument with its own objectives and deadlines; the functioning and the added value of the EGF should be evaluated in the context of the general assessment of the programmes and other various instruments created by the IIA of 17 May 2006 , within the process of the 2007-2013 multiannual financial framework mid-term review.

In addition, Parliament welcomes the new format of the Commission's proposal, presenting in its explanatory memorandum, clear and detailed information on the application, analysing the eligibility criteria and explaining the reasons which lead to its approval, which is in line with the Parliament's requests.

Lastly, Members note that the information provided on the co-ordinated package of personalised services to be funded from the EGF includes detailed information on the complementarity with actions funded by the Structural Funds. However, they call on the Commission to present a comparative evaluation of these data in its annual reports as well.

PURPOSE: to mobilise the European Globalisation Fund in respect of redundancies in the manufacturing of wooden products in Spain.

PROPOSED ACT: Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council.

CONTENT: Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council established the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund which aims to provide additional support to redundant workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the Fund within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.

The Commission examined Spain’s request to mobilise the EGF:

Spain : EGF/2009/020 ES/Castilla-La Mancha : Spain submitted an application EGF/2009/020 ES/Castilla-La Mancha to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 36 enterprises operating in NACE Revision 2 division 16 ('Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials') in a single NUTS II region, Castilla-La Mancha (ES42) on 9 October 2009 and supplemented it by additional information up to 22 February 2010. The application meets the conditions for deploying the EGF as set out in Article 2(b) of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 which requires at least 500 redundancies over a nine-month period in enterprises operating in the same NACE Revision 2 division in one region or two contiguous regions at NUTS II level in a Member State. The application cites 585 redundancies in 36 enterprises in Spain during the nine-month reference period from 1 November 2008 to 31 July 2009.

On the basis of the application from Spain and the Commission’s conclusions, the proposed contribution from the EGF to the coordinated package of personalised services is EUR 1 950 000 .

IMPACT ASSESSMENT: no impact assessment was carried out.

BUDGETARY IMPLICATION: considering the maximum possible amount of a financial contribution from the EGF under Article 10 (1) of the Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, as well as the scope for reallocating appropriations, the Commission proposes to mobilise the EGF for the total amount of EUR 1 950 000 to be allocated under heading 1a of the financial framework.

The proposed amount of financial contribution will leave more than 25 % of the maximum annual amount earmarked for the EGF available for allocations during the last four months of the year, as required by Article 12 (6) of the Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.

By presenting this proposal to mobilise the EGF, the Commission initiates the simplified trialogue procedure with a view to securing the agreement of the two arms of the budgetary authority on the need to use the EGF and the amount required. The Commission invites the first of the two arms of the budgetary authority that reaches agreement on the draft mobilisation proposal, at appropriate political level, to inform the other arm and the Commission of its intentions. In case of disagreement by either of the two arms of the budgetary authority, a formal trialogue meeting will be convened.

The Commission presents separately a transfer request in order to enter in the 2010 budget specific commitment and payment appropriations, as required in Point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006.

MEPs recall that the European Union set up the appropriate legislative and budgetary instruments to provide additional support to workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist their reintegration into the labour market. Noting that Spain has requested assistance in respect of cases concerning 585 redundancies in 36 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 division 16 ('Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork except furniture in the region of Castilla-La Mancha and that this application fulfils the eligibility criteria set up by the EGF Regulation, MEPs request the institutions involved to make the necessary efforts to accelerate the mobilisation of the EGF for the requested amount. MEPs recall the institutions' commitment to ensure a smooth and rapid procedure for the adoption of the decisions on the mobilisation of the EGF, providing one-off, time-limited individual support geared to helping workers who have suffered redundancies as a result of globalisation. In addition, MEPs recall that: the EGF should support the reintegration of the individual redundant workers into employment and that assistance from the EGF shall not replace actions which are the responsibility of companies by virtue of national law or collective agreements, nor measures restructuring companies or sectors; in the context of mobilising the EGF, the Commission should not systematically transfer payment appropriations from the ESF, since the EGF was created as a separate specific instrument with its own objectives and deadlines; the functioning and the added value of the EGF should be evaluated in the context of the general assessment of the programmes and other various instruments created by the IIA of 17 May 2006 , within the process of the 2007-2013 multiannual financial framework mid-term review. In addition, MEPs welcomes the new format of the Commission's proposal, presenting in its explanatory memorandum, clear and detailed information on the application, analysing the eligibility criteria and explaining the reasons which lead to its approval, which is in line with the Parliament's requests. Lastly, they note that the information provided on the co-ordinated package of personalised services to be funded from the EGF includes detailed information on the complementarity with actions funded by the Structural Funds.

Parliament recalls that the European Union set up the appropriate legislative and budgetary instruments to provide additional support to workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist their reintegration into the labour market. Noting that Spain has requested assistance in respect of cases concerning 585 redundancies in 36 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 division 16 ('Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork except furniture in the region of Castilla-La Mancha and that this application fulfils the eligibility criteria set up by the EGF Regulation, Parliament requests the institutions involved to make the necessary efforts to accelerate the mobilisation of the EGF for the requested amount. Parliament recalls the institutions' commitment to ensure a smooth and rapid procedure for the adoption of the decisions on the mobilisation of the EGF, providing one-off, time-limited individual support geared to helping workers who have suffered redundancies as a result of globalisation. In addition, Parliament recalls that: the EGF should support the reintegration of the individual redundant workers into employment and that assistance from the EGF shall not replace actions which are the responsibility of companies by virtue of national law or collective agreements, nor measures restructuring companies or sectors; in the context of mobilising the EGF, the Commission should not systematically transfer payment appropriations from the ESF, since the EGF was created as a separate specific instrument with its own objectives and deadlines; the functioning and the added value of the EGF should be evaluated in the context of the general assessment of the programmes and other various instruments created by the IIA of 17 May 2006 , within the process of the 2007-2013 multiannual financial framework mid-term review. In addition, Parliament welcomes the new format of the Commission's proposal, presenting in its explanatory memorandum, clear and detailed information on the application, analysing the eligibility criteria and explaining the reasons which lead to its approval, which is in line with the Parliament's requests. Lastly, Members note that the information provided on the co-ordinated package of personalised services to be funded from the EGF includes detailed information on the complementarity with actions funded by the Structural Funds. However, they call on the Commission to present a comparative evaluation of these data in its annual reports as well.

  • date: 2010-06-19T00:00:00 type: Final act published in Official Journal summary: PURPOSE: to mobilise the European Globalisation Fund in respect of redundancies in the manufacturing of wooden products in Spain. LEGISLATIVE ACT: Decision 2010/338/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council on mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, in accordance with point 28 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management. CONTENT: by this Decision, the European Parliament and the Council have decided to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for a total amount of EUR 1 950 000 in commitment and payment appropriations in respect of redundancies in the manufacturing of wooden products in Spain. Given that Spain’s application fulfils the eligibility criteria set up by the EGF Regulation (Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006), Parliament and the Council have decided to mobilise the above-mentioned amount. To recall, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund was established to provide additional support to workers who suffer from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market. The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the Fund within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. It should also be noted that the scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis. docs: title: Decision 2010/338 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/smartapi/cgi/sga_doc?smartapi!celexplus!prod!CELEXnumdoc&lg=EN&numdoc=32010D0338 title: OJ L 154 19.06.2010, p. 0025 url: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=OJ:L:2010:154:TOC
