PURPOSE: to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF/2022/000 TA 2022 - Technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission).
PROPOSED ACT: Decision of the European Parliament and of the Council.
CONTENT: the European Globalisation Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) aims to demonstrate solidarity and promote decent and sustainable employment in the Union by providing support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased in the case of major restructuring events and assisting them in returning to decent and sustainable employment as soon as possible.
The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 186 million (in 2018 prices), as laid down in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 . Regulation (EU) 2021/691 provides that a maximum of 0.5 % of the annual maximum amount of the EGF may be used each year for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission.
It is proposed that the EGF shall be mobilised in order to provide the sum of EUR 290 000 for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission.
Technical assistance to be funded and breakdown of estimated costs (administration support - EUR 190 000 and technical support - EUR 100 000)
The Covid-19 pandemic not only disturbed the delivery of EGF cases, but also caused uncertainty as concerns general operations, in particular events that would require physical presence. Thus in 2021, the Commission did not request technical assistance support. The proposal for 2022 is adapted to the current situation.
Administrative support shall include: meetings of expert groups and promoting networking as well as fostering information activities while technical support shall include the maintenance and updating of an electronic data exchange system and monitoring and data gathering regarding applications received, paid and wound up, and measures proposed and implemented.
Financing
Currently, the entire amount for 2022 remains available. The proposed amount corresponds to 0.14 % of the maximum annual budget available for the EGF in 2022.
The proposed decision to mobilise the EGF will be taken jointly by the European Parliament and the Council, as laid down in point 9 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 16 December 2020 between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, as well as on new own resources, including a roadmap towards the introduction of new own resources.
At the same time as it presents this proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF, the Commission will present to the European Parliament and to the Council a proposal for a transfer to the relevant budgetary line for the amount of EUR 290 000.
Appropriations from the EGF budget line will be used to cover the amount of EUR 290 000 needed for technical assistance.
