(COM(2014)0376 – C8‑0032/2014 – 2014/2042(BUD))
The European Parliament,
– having regard to the Commission proposal to the European Parliament and the Council (COM(2014)0376 – C8‑0032/2014),
– having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006[1] (EGF Regulation),
– having regard to Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020[2], and in particular Article 12 thereof,
– having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management[3] (IIA of 2 December 2013), and in particular point 13 thereof,
– having regard to trilogue procedure provided for in point 13 of the IIA of 2 December 2013,
– having regard to the letter of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs,
– having regard to the letter of the Committee on Regional Development,
– having regard to the report of the Committee on Budgets (A8-0004/2014) ,
A. whereas the European Union has set up legislative and budgetary instruments to provide additional support to workers who are suffering from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and to assist their reintegration into the labour market,
B. whereas the Union’s financial assistance to workers made redundant should be dynamic and made available as quickly and efficiently as possible, in accordance with the Joint Declaration of the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission adopted during the conciliation meeting on 17 July 2008, and having due regard for the IIA of 2 December 2013 in respect of the adoption of decisions to mobilise the EGF,
C. whereas Greece submitted application EGF/2014/001 EL/Nutriart for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in Nutriart S.A and 25 providers and downstream producers and 24 self-employed people whose activity ceased and was dependent on the primary enterprise in Greece with 508 workers targeted for EGF co-funded measures, during the reference period from 16 July 2013 to 16 November 2013,
D. whereas the application fulfils the eligibility criteria set up by the EGF Regulation,
E. whereas 66,34 % of the workers targeted by the measures are men and 33,66 % are women; whereas the vast majority (86,42 %) of the workers are between 30 and 54 years old; whereas 8,07 % of the workers are between 55 and 64 years old;
1. Agrees with the Commission that the conditions set out in Article 4(1)(a) of the EGF Regulation are met and that, therefore, Greece is entitled to a financial contribution under that Regulation;
2. Notes that the Greek authorities submitted the application for EGF financial contribution on 5 February 2014, supplemented it by additional information until 2 April 2014, and that its assessment was made available by the Commission on 24 June 2014; welcomes the speedy evaluation of four months;
3. Notes that this is the first application which was submitted and assessed under the scope of the EGF Regulation for the multiannual financial period 2014-2020;
4. Considers that the redundancies in Nutriart S.A and 25 providers and downstream producers and 24 self-employed people whose activity ceased and was dependent on the primary enterprise in Greece are linked to global financial and economic crisis, referring to the fact that the Greek economy has experienced a cumulative fall of 5% in its GDP since 2008 and despite the fact that it slowly emerges out of recession it is still unable to create new job opportunities and reduce the unemployment rate which is at a historical record of 26-27% of the working population;
5. Notes that the events giving rise to the redundancies were mainly three: (1) the decrease of available household income that affected in a very negative way the consumption of a different range of products ―(due to the increase in the tax burden, decreasing salaries of both private and public employees and rising unemployment) ― resulting in a huge drop of purchasing power; (2) the delayed payments by most of the Nutriart’s clients; and (3) the drastic reduction of loans to enterprises and individuals due to the effort of the Greek banking system to reduce its outstanding loans;
6. Stresses that the 508 redundancies will further aggravate the unemployment situation in Attica and Central Macedonia regions bearing in mind that in fourth quarter of 2013, the unemployment rate in Attica was 28,2% whilst in Central Macedonia it was 30,3%[4]; notes moreover that Attica accounts for 43 % of the Greek GDP and therefore the impact of the closure of enterprises based in this region reaches the whole Greek economy; notes, in addition, that rising unemployment in the two major urban centers of Greece weakened social cohesion and contributed to social tensions;
7. Welcomes the fact that, in order to provide workers with speedy assistance, the Greek authorities decided to initiate the implementation of the personalised services to the affected workers on 30 April 2014 well ahead of the final decision on granting the EGF support for the proposed coordinated package;
8. Warmly welcomes the fact that in addition to 508 redundant workers, the Greek authorities will provide personalised services co-financed by the EGF to up to 505 young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) under the age of 30 which brings the total number of targeted beneficiaries to participate in the measures to 1 013; stresses that this is the first time that this new provision of the EGF Regulation is used;
9. Notes that the maximum eligible amount of EUR 15 000 will be granted to 150 selected workers and NEETs as a contribution to setting up their own businesses; underlines that the aim of this measure is to promote entrepreneurship by providing funding, which should result in the creation of further workplaces in the medium term;
10. Notes that the coordinated package of personalised services to be co-funded includes measures for workers made redundant, self-employed persons whose activity has ceased and NEETs such as occupational guidance, training, retraining and vocational training, counselling services towards entrepreneurship, contribution to business start-up, job-search allowances and mobility allowances; warmly welcomes the fact that for the first time self-employed persons are included in co-funding of the EGF;
11. Welcomes the idea of the development of an incubator for innovative new businesses;
12. Welcomes the fact that the coordinated package of personalised services has been drawn up in consultation with the representatives of the targeted beneficiaries, the trade union GSEE[5] and the Hellenic Confederation of Enterprises, and that a policy of equality of women and men as well as the principle non-discrimination will be applied during the various stages of the implementation of and in access to the EGF;
13. Recalls the importance of improving the ability of all workers to seek employment 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;
14. Notes that the information provided on the coordinated package of personalised services to be funded from the EGF includes information on complementarity with actions funded by the Structural Funds; stresses that the Greek authorities confirm that the eligible actions do not receive assistance from other Union financial instruments; reiterates its call to the Commission to present a comparative evaluation of those data in its annual reports in order to ensure full respect of the existing regulations and that no duplication of Union-funded services can occur;
15. Appreciates the improved procedure put in place by the Commission, following Parliament's request for the accelerated release of grants; notes that the Commission finalised the assessment of the application’s compliance with the conditions for providing a financial contribution within 12 weeks of the receipt of the complete application;
16. Stresses that, in accordance with Article 9 of the EGF Regulation, it shall be ensured that the EGF assistance is limited to what is necessary to provide solidarity and temporary one-off support for targeted beneficiaries; and will not furthermore replace actions which are the responsibility of companies by virtue of national law or collective agreements;
17. Welcomes the adoption of the new EGF Regulation which reflects the agreement reached between the European Parliament and the Council to reintroduce the crisis mobilisation criterion, to increase Union financial contribution to 60% of the total estimated cost of proposed measures, to increase efficiency for the treatment of EGF applications in the Commission and by the European Parliament and the Council by shortening time for assessment and approval, to widen eligible actions and beneficiaries by introducing self-employed persons and young people and to finance incentives for setting up own businesses;
18. Approves the decision annexed to this resolution;
19. Instructs its President to sign the decision with the President of the Council and arrange for its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union;
20. Instructs its President to forward this resolution, including its annex, to the Council and the Commission.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
I. Background
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund has been created in order to provide additional assistance to workers suffering from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns.
According to the provisions of Article 12 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020[1] and of Article 15 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013[2], the Fund may not exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices). The appropriate amounts are entered into the general budget of the Union as a provision.
As concerns the procedure, according to point 13 of the Interinstitutional Agreement of 2 December 2013 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management[3], in order to activate the Fund the Commission, in case of a positive assessment of an application, presents to the budgetary authority a proposal for mobilisation of the Fund and, at the same time, a corresponding request for transfer. In the event of disagreement, a trilogue shall be initiated.
II. The Nutriart application and the Commission's proposal
On 24 June 2014, the Commission adopted a proposal for a decision on the mobilisation of the EGF in favour of Greece to support the reintegration in the labour market of workers made redundant in Nutriart S.A and 25 suppliers and downstream producers in Greece due to global financial and economic crisis.
This is the sixth application to be examined under the 2014 budget and refers to the mobilisation of a total amount of EUR 6 096 000 from the EGF for Greece. It concerns 508 workers made redundant in Nutriart S.A. ('the primary enterprise') and among them 25 providers and downstream producers: AR.ZIGAS & SIA and 24 self-employed people whose activity ceased and was dependent on the primary enterprise. The Greek authorities will provide personalised services co-financed by the EGF to up to 505 young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) under the age of 30 on the date of submission of the application, given that all of the redundancies referred to in paragraph 8 occur in the NUTS level 2 regions of Central Macedonia (EL12) and Attica (EL30), which are eligible under the Youth Employment Initiative. The total estimated number of targeted beneficiaries expected to participate in the measures, including NEETs, is therefore 1 013. The application was sent to the Commission on 5 February 2014 and supplemented by additional information up to 2 April 2014. The Commission has concluded, in accordance with all applicable provisions of the EGF Regulation, that the application meets the conditions for a financial contribution from the EGF.
The Greek authorities argue that the Greek economy has experienced six consecutive years of recession with a cumulative fall of 25% in its GDP. According to ELSTAT, the Greek Statistical Authority, since 2008 the Greek GDP has decreased by 25 %, public consumption by 21 % and private consumption by 32,3 % whilst unemployment was almost multiplied by four to 26-27% of the working population. Moreover the decline in GDP has widened the gap between the Greek per capita GDP and the per capita GDP of the EU, cancelling the progress towards economic convergence made by Greece in the 1995-2007 period.
As a result of the bankruptcies of enterprises, like that of Nutriart S.A., in the secondary economic sector the Greek economy is in a 'disinvestment' process (i.e. it is losing its productive capacities). According to the OECD, gross fixed capital[4] decreased by 20 % in the period 2008-2013. The redundancies in Nutriart will increase the number of job seekers in the territory while the loss of productive capacities related to the enterprise's bankruptcy will reduce the number of jobs available. Thus the redundancies can be seen to have a serious negative effect on the regional and local economy. According to official statistics most of the unemployed are long term unemployed, unemployment is affecting both the younger generation and people in their fifties who have problem finding alternative employment. Finally, 23 % of the Greek population was below the poverty threshold[5] in 2012.
The personalised services which are to be provided to workers made redundant, self-employed persons whose activity has ceased and NEETs consist of the following actions which combine to form a co-ordinated package of personalised services: occupational guidance, training, retraining and vocational training, counselling services towards entrepreneurship, contribution to business start-up, job-search allowances and mobility allowances.
According to the Commission, the described measures constitute active labour market measures within the eligible actions set out in Article 7 of the EGF Regulation. These actions do not substitute passive social protection measures.
The Greek authorities have provided all necessary assurances regarding the following:
• the principles of equality of treatment and non-discrimination will be respected in the access to the proposed actions and their implementation;
• the requirements laid down in national and EU legislation concerning collective redundancies have been complied with;
• Nutriart SA has complied with its legal obligations governing the redundancies and has provided for its workers accordingly;
• Nutriart SA filed for bankruptcy and the relevant court's decision is expected by the autumn of 2014; Nutriart does not intend to resume operations afterwards;
• the proposed actions will provide support for individual workers and will not be used for restructuring companies or sectors;
• the proposed actions will not receive financial support from other Union funds or financial instruments and any double financing will be prevented;
• the proposed actions will be complementary with actions funded by the Structural Funds;
• the financial contribution from the EGF will comply with the procedural and material Union rules on State.
Concerning management and control systems, Greece has notified the Commission that the financial contribution will be managed and controlled by the same bodies that manage and control the European Social Fund (ESF) funding in Greece. ESF Actions Coordination and Monitoring Authority (EYSEKT) will act as managing authority and the EDEL (Fiscal Audit Committee) as control authority.
III. Procedure
In order to mobilise the Fund, the Commission has submitted to the Budget Authority a transfer request for a global amount of EUR EUR 6 096 000 from the EGF reserve (40 02 43) to the EGF budget line (04 04 51).
This is the sixth transfer proposal for the mobilisation of the Fund transmitted to the Budgetary Authority to date during 2014.
The trilogue procedure shall be initiated in the event of disagreement, as provided for in Article 15(4) of the EGF Regulation.
According to an internal agreement, the Employment and Social Affairs Committee should be associated to the process, in order to provide constructive support and contribution to the assessment of the applications from the Fund.

Subject: Opinion on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for the case EGF/2014/001 EL/Nutriart from Greece (COM(2014)376 final)
Dear Chair,
The Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (EMPL) as well as its Working Group on the EGF examined the mobilisation of the EGF for the case EGF/2014/001 EL/Nutriart and adopted the following opinion.
The EMPL committee and the Working Group on the EGF are in favour of the mobilisation of the Fund concerning this request. In this respect, the EMPL committee presents some remarks without, however, putting into question the transfer of the payments.
The deliberations of the EMPL committee are based on the following considerations:
A) Whereas this application is based on Article 4(1)(a) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 (EGF Regulation) and targets to support 508 workers made redundant in the primary enterprise Nutriart S.A., in the downstream producer AR.ZIGAS & SIA and further 24 self-employed whose activity was dependent on the primary enterprise and ceased within the reference period between 16 July 2013 and 16 November 2013;
B) Whereas according to Article 6(2) of the EGF Regulation, Greece has decided to provide personalised services co-financed by the EGF also to 505 young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) under the age of 30;
C) Whereas the Greek authorities argue that events giving rise to the redundancies were the decrease of available household income, which resulted in a drastic decrease in household consumption particularly of products other than basic staples; the delayed payments by most clients of the company and the drastic reduction of loans due to the lack of cash in the Greek banks;
D) Whereas 66,34 % of the workers targeted by the measures are men and 33,66 % are women; whereas the vast majority (86,42 %) of the workers are between 30 and 54 years old; whereas 8,07 % of the workers are between 55 and 64 years old;
E) Whereas the redundancies occurred in Attica and Central Macedonia regions, where the unemployment rate was 28,2 % and 30,3 % respectively and both regions is characterised by a lack of job offers and long-term unemployment;
Therefore, the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs calls on the Committee on Budgets, as the committee responsible, to integrate the following suggestions in its motion for a resolution concerning the Greek application:
1. Agrees with the Commission that the intervention criteria set out in Article 4(1)(a) and the conditions set out in Article 13(1) of the Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 are met and that, therefore, Greece is entitled to a financial contribution under this Regulation;
2. Notes that this is the first application which was submitted and assessed under the scope of the EGF Regulation for the multiannual financial period 2014-2020;
3. Notes that the Greek authorities submitted the application for EGF financial contribution on 5 February 2014 and supplemented it by additional information until 2 April 2014;
4. Notes the fact that the Greek authorities decided to make use of the new provisions of the Regulation and will provide personalised services co-financed by the EGF to up to 505 NEETs; expresses its concerns about the uncertainty of the method to be applied by the Greek authorities to identify the targeted NEETs; calls on the Greek authorities to bear in mind the social criteria and to ensure that the selection of the recipients of EGF support fully respects the principles of non-discrimination and equal opportunities;
5. Underlines the importance of the financial intervention as the redundancies further aggravate the unemployment situation in the affected regions;
6. Welcomes the fact, that the Greek authorities began providing the personalised services to the targeted beneficiaries as of 30 April 2014; reminds that the new Regulation provides for reducing the processing time and simplification of procedures to ensure the rapid decision-making on the mobilisation of the EGF;
7. Notes that the maximum eligible amount of 15 000 Euros will be granted to 150 selected workers and NEETs as contribution to setting up their own businesses; underlines that the aim of this measure is to promote entrepreneurship by providing funding, which should result in the creation of further workplaces in the medium term;
8. Welcomes the idea of the development of an incubator for innovative new businesses;
9. Notes the total estimated costs of 100 000 Euros on information and publicity actions which should be well targeted to result in a better awareness about the EGF contribution and more visibility of the role of the Community in it;
10. Recalls that in line with Art 7 of the Regulation, the design of the coordinated package of personalised services should anticipate future labour market perspectives and required skills and should be compatible with the shift towards a resource-efficient and sustainable economy.
