DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
of 17 December 2009
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
(2009/1006/EU)
THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,
Having regard to the Treaty establishing the European Community and to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,
Having regard to the Inter-institutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management (1), and in particular point 28 thereof,
Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the Commission,
Whereas:
(1) |
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established 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. |
(2) |
The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a result of the global financial and economic crisis. |
(3) |
The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. |
(4) |
Sweden submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in automotive sector, on 5 June 2009. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 9 839 674. |
(5) |
Austria submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the automotive sector, on 9 July 2009. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 5 705 635. |
(6) |
The Netherlands submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the construction sector, on 4 August 2009. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 386 114. |
(7) |
The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the applications submitted by Sweden, Austria and the Netherlands, |
HAVE DECIDED AS FOLLOWS:
Article 1
