Amendment 1 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 1 1. Agrees with the Commission that the conditions set out in point (a) of Article 4(1) of the EGF Regulation are met and that, therefore, Sweden is entitled to a financial contribution of EUR 3 957 918 under that Regulation, which represents 60% of the total cost of EUR 6 596 531, that will help 918 targeted beneficiaries return to the labour market;
Amendment 10 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 6 b (new) 6 b. Recognises that most of the affected white-collar workers are engineers, some of whom are specialised in niches that are unique to Ericsson, but welcomes the confidence of the Swedish PES that a personalised package of training programmes and coaching will enable most of those redundant employees to find new jobs of high quality.
Amendment 11 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 7. Notes that
Amendment 12 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 7 a (new) 7 a. Notes that the income support measures amount to 33,92 % of the overall package of personalised measures, close to the maximum 35 % set out in the EGF Regulation; and that these actions are conditional on the active participation of the targeted beneficiaries in job-search or training activities; considers this relatively high percentage to be justified in view of the significant proportion of older workers concerned and the provision of individual support to participants with learning disabilities;
Amendment 13 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 8 8. Notes that the coordinated package of personalised services has been drawn up in consultation with the targeted beneficiaries and their representatives as well as with local public actors, taking into consideration that 22 % of workers are female and 78 % male;
Amendment 14 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 10 10. Recalls the importance of improving the employability of all workers by means of adapted training and the recognition of skills and competences gained throughout a worker's professional career; expects the training on offer in the coordinated package to be adapted not only to the needs of the dismissed workers but also to the actual business environment, in the targeted regions;
Amendment 15 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 10 a (new) 10 a. Welcomes the Swedish authorities’ assurance that special efforts will be undertaken to break traditional gender barriers, including encouraging male beneficiaries to find jobs in the health care sector, as well as the contribution the measures will make to the 16 Swedish Environmental Quality Objectives;
Amendment 16 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 12 12. Notes that

Amendment 3 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 2 2. Notes that Sweden submitted the application for a financial contribution from the EGF on 31 March 2016, and that
Amendment 4 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 3 3. Notes that the IT and telecommunication industries are dominated by Asian manufacturers which have become an outsourcing destination, due to the fact that the strongest growth markets are located there; points out that Ericsson has gradually been cutting staff in Sweden (from 21 178 in 2005 to 17 858 in 2014), but in the meantime been growing tremendously worldwide (from 56 055 in 2005 to 118 055 in 2014), with India being the country with the largest number of employees (22 541);
Amendment 5 #
Draft opinion Paragraph 4 4. Points out that a relatively large group of older workers with similar backgrounds have been made redundant at the same time, with most of these workers not possessing the skills sought after on the local labour market; notes also that the large number of newly arrived migrants puts additional pressure on the local labour market;
