DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 

on the 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 (application EGF/2011/002 IT/Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM 

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 
management1  allows  for  the  mobilisation  of  the  European  Globalisation  Adjustment  Fund 
(EGF)  through  a  flexibility  mechanism,  within  the  annual  ceiling  of  EUR 500 million over 
and above the relevant headings of the financial framework. 

The rules applicable to the contributions from the EGF are laid down in Regulation (EC) No 
1927/2006  of  the  European  Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  20  December  2006  on 
establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund2. 

On  7  February  2011,  Italy  submitted  application  EGF/2011/002  IT/Trentino-Alto 
Adige/Südtirol Construction of buildings for a financial contribution from the EGF, following 
redundancies in 323 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 41 ('Construction 
of  buildings')3  in  the  NUTS  II  region  of  Trentino-AltoAdige/Südtirol  (ITD1  and  ITD24)  in 
Italy. 

After  a  thorough  examination  of  this  application,  the  Commission  has  concluded  in 
accordance  with  Article  10  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  1927/2006  that  the  conditions  for  a 
financial contribution under this Regulation are met.

The  application  was  presented  to  the  Commission  on  7  February  2011  and 
supplemented by additional information up to 6 July 2011. 

The application meets the conditions for deploying the EGF as set out in Article 2(b) 
of  Regulation  (EC)  No  1927/2006,  and  was  submitted  within  the  deadline  of  10 
weeks referred to in Article 5 of that Regulation. 

Link  between  the  redundancies  and  major  structural  changes  in  world  trade  patterns 
due to globalisation or the global financial and economic crisis 

3. 

4. 

In order to establish the link between the redundancies and the global financial and 
economic crisis, Italy argues that the construction sector has been severely affected 
by the crisis. Loans to the construction sector or to individuals have been drastically 
reduced  and  the  demand  for  new  houses  decreased  due  to  declining  consumer 
confidence and the lack of cash.  

The  Commission  recognised  in  its  Economic  Recovery  Plan6  that  the  construction 
industry in the EU has seen demand plummet as a result of the crisis. Available data 
confirms the significant downturn in the construction sector, which fell in the EU-27 
for seven consecutive quarters (Q1/2009 to Q3/2010) compared with the same period 
of previous year, mainly due to the decrease in private investment in the residential 
sector. The construction output in Italy has been following the same trend:

In  its  assessment  of  application  EGF/2009/017  LT/Construction  of  buildings7  the 
Commission has already stated the impact of the economic and financial crisis on the 
enterprises  operating  in  the  NACE  Revision  2  Division  41  ('Construction  of 
buildings').

7. 

Italy  submitted  this  application  under  the  intervention  criteria  of  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  643  redundancies  in  323  enterprises  operating  in  the  NACE 
Revision  2  Division  41  ('Construction  of  buildings')8  in  the  NUTS  II  region  of 
Trentino-Alto  Adige/Südtirol  (ITD1  and  ITD2)  during  the  nine-month  reference 
period  from  1  March  2010  to  1  December  2010.  All  of  these  redundancies  were 
calculated in accordance with the second indent of the second paragraph of Article 2 
of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.  

Explanation of the unforeseen nature of those redundancies 

8. 

The  Italian  authorities  argue  that  the  financial  and  economic  crisis  has  led  to  a 
sudden  collapse  of  the  world  economy  with  an  enormous  impact  on  many  sectors. 
The  nature  of  the  recession  as  far  as  the  construction  sector  is  concerned,  with  a 
sudden  tightening  of  conditions  for  access  to  financial  credit  and  a  dramatic 
slowdown  in  new  orders  was  unprecedented  in  recent  times.  Moreover  since  2008 
the  economic  situation  has  not  been  following  the  trends  of  previous  years.  The 
redundancies in the construction industry could not, therefore, have been foreseen or 
easily prevented.

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, Italy has confirmed 
that a policy of equality between women and men as well as non-discrimination has 
been  applied,  and  will  continue  to  apply,  during  the  various  stages  of  the 
implementation of and, in particular, in access to the EGF. 

Description of the territory concerned and its authorities and stakeholders 

14. 

15. 

The  territory  concerned  by  the  redundancies  is  the  region  of  Trentino-Alto 
Adige/Südtirol.  At  NUTS  II  level  it  consists  of  two  autonomous  provinces:  Trento 
and Bolzano/Bozen. The region is bordered by Austria to the north, by Switzerland 
to the north-west and by the Italian regions of Lombardy and Veneto to the west and 
south, respectively. It covers 13 607 km² and it is extremely mountainous, covering a 
large part of the Dolomites and the southern Alps. Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol has 
a population of about 1 017 000 people (498 000 in the Province of Bolzano/Bozen 
and 519 000  in  the  Province  of  Trento). The population density in the region  (74,7 
inhabitants per km²) is low if compared either to Italy or to the EU average (198,8 
and 112 inhabitants per km² respectively). The Italian national institute of statistics 
ISTAT  estimated  that  70 834  foreign-born  immigrants  live  in  Trentino-Alto 
Adige/Südtirol,  equal  to  6,9 %  of  the  total  regional  population.  The  service  sector 
accounts  for  69 %  of  total  employment  while  industry  represents  25 %  of  the  jobs 
and the primary sector 5 %. 

The main authorities concerned are the Agenzia di Lavoro della Provincia Autonoma 
di Trento (the Labour Agency of the Autonomous Province of Trento), the Provincia 
Autonoma di Bolzano/Bozen - Ufficio Politique del Lavoro a Finanziamento Europeo 
(the  Autonomous  Province  of  Bolzano-Bozen),  Rete  dei  Centri  per  l'impiego  della 
Provincia  Autonoma  di  Trento  e  della  Provincia  di  Bolzano/Bozen  (network  of 
employment  centres  in  both  provinces),  the  trade  unions:  Confederazione  Generale 
Italiana  del  Lavoro  –CGIL–  del  Trentino;  Confederazione  Italiana  Sindacati  dei 
Lavoratori  –CISL–  del  Trentino;  Unione  Italiana  del  Lavoro  –UIL–  del  Trentino, 
Südtiroler  Gewerkschaftsbund,  CISL  dell'Alto  Adige  and  UIL  dell'Alto  Adige;  the

Expected impact of the redundancies as regards local, regional or national employment 

16. 

The  economic  situation  of  both  provinces  deteriorated  in  2009  and  their  economic 
growth was negative (-3,0 % in Trento and -2,6 % in Bolzano/Bozen) compared with 
the  previous  year.  Unemployment  in  Trento  increased  by  117 %  in  2010  compared 

EN 

10 

   EN 

 
with 2009. In Bolzano/Bozen unemployment rate in Q3/2010 was 43 % higher than 
in  the  same  quarter  of  the  previous  year.  Moreover  9,3 %  of  the  redundancies  that 
occurred  in  the  province  of  Trento  from  March  to  December  2010  were  workers 
made redundant in the construction sector. In the province of Bolzano/Bozen layoffs 
in the construction sector during the same period represent 11 % of total layoffs. In 
both  provinces  the  construction  sector  is  an  important  employer  as  it  represents 
8,6 % of the jobs in Trentino and 8 % in Bolzano/Bozen. It also contributes by 15 % 
to  the  regional  GDP.  For  all  these  reasons  Italy  expects  the  impact  of  the 
redundancies to be locally significant. 

Co-ordinated  package  of  personalised  services  to  be  funded  and  a  breakdown  of  its 
estimated  costs,  including  its  complementarity  with  actions  funded  by  the  Structural 
Funds 

17. 

The  following  types  of  measures  are  proposed,  all  of  which  combine  to  form  a 
coordinated package of personalised services aimed at re-integrating the workers into 
the labour market: 

–  Welcome  session,  intake  and  registration:  The  first  measure  provided  to  all 
participants  includes  information  on  available  services  and  training  programmes 
and on skills and training requirements. It is also the opportunity for the workers 
willing  to  participate  in  the  measures  to  formalize  an  agreement  of  participation 
and interest. 

–  One-to-one  counselling  and  guidance:  Workers  will  be  offered  counselling 
services at the beginning of their individual pathway of reinsertion into the labour 
market.  However  they  can  access  the  counselling  services  at  any  time  upon 
request  (i.e.  when  having  difficulties  making  choices,  when  feeling  their 
motivation decreasing or simply when in need for support). The counsellors will 
provide  vocational  guidance  to  the  dismissed  workers  and  will  orient  them 
towards specific job offers. 

–  Skills assessment and outplacement: This is intended to help workers to identify 
their own skills and the opportunities related to their own interests and to establish 
a  realistic  career  plan.  The  measure,  which  involves  intensive  and  personalized 
counselling,  is  structured  as  a  pathway  consisting  of  six  stages  in  which  the 
worker  and  the  counsellor  work  out  on  an  issue  (e.g.  opportunities,  interests, 
analysis of the motivations and expectations, etc). Following these assessments, a 
summary  paper  is  put  together,  setting  out  a  summary  of  the  worker's  skills, 
his/her individual project and an action plan.  

–  General  training  and  re-training:  This  measure  aims  to  train  workers  in  four 
competences defined as key competences in the Recommendation of the European 
Parliament  and  of  the  Council  of  18  December  2006  on  Key  Competences  for 
Lifelong Learning9: 1) Communication in the mother tongue; 2) Communication 
in  foreign  languages;  3)  Mathematical  competence  and  basic  competences  in 
science  and  technology;  and  4)  Digital  competence.  These  courses  combine 
classroom  attendance  and  distance  learning  to  avoid  the  syndrome  of  'return  to

school desk'. The participation in at least one of the courses which are part of this 
measure  is  mandatory  for  all  participants  in  the  program  of  EGF  active  labour 
market measures. 

–  Coaching:  This  aims  to  train  workers  in  the  four  key  competences  for  lifelong 
learning not included in the general training and retraining measure: 1) Learning 
to  learn;  2)  Social  and  civic  competences;  3)  Sense  of  initiative  and 
entrepreneurship;  and  4)  Cultural  awareness  and  expression.  This  training  is 
structured in two individual sessions and four group sessions (team coaching) and 
it  consists  of  a  tandem  of  key  competencies:  'learning  to  learn'  plus  one  of  the 
three remaining key competences. 

–  Individual vocational training: This covers specific retraining needs of dismissed 
workers who wish to work in a different sector or a different function. The length 
of the training proposed ranges from 40 to 200 hours. 

–  Mentoring after reintegration into work: To prevent possible problems arising in 
the new jobs and to help the workers to consolidate their posts, mentors will guide 
the workers reintegrated into employment. 

–  Participation allowance: To cover the expenses incurred when participating in the 
measures, the workers will receive up to EUR 400 per month. The amount will be 
calculated either on a daily basis (EUR 20 per day) or be paid as a lump-sum. 

–  Subsistence allowance: The workers will receive for each day they participate in 
the  EGF  measures  a  subsistence  allowance  equivalent  to  one  day  of  the  Italian 
subsistence allowance 'indemnità di mobilità. . 

18. 

19. 

The expenditure for implementing the EGF, which is included in the application in 
accordance  with  Article  3  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  1927/2006,  covers  management 
and control activities as well as information and publicity. 

The  personalised  services  presented  by  the  Italian  authorities  are  active  labour 
market measures within the eligible actions defined by Article 3 of Regulation (EC) 
No  1927/2006.  The  Italian  authorities  estimate  the  total  costs  of  these  services  at 
EUR 5 744 000  and  the  expenditure  for  implementing  the  EGF  at  EUR 285 000 
(4,7 %  of  the  total  amount).  The  total  contribution  requested  from  the  EGF  is 
EUR 3 918 850 (65 % of the total costs).

Italy  confirms  that  the  measures  described  above  are  complementary  with  actions 
funded by the Structural Funds and that all double financing will be prevented. 

Date(s)  on  which  the  personalised  services  to  the  affected  workers  were  started  or  are 
planned to start 

21. 

Italy  started  the  personalised  services  to  the  affected  workers  included  in  the  co-
ordinated package proposed for co-financing to the EGF on 1 May 2011. This date 
therefore represents the beginning of the period of eligibility for any assistance that 
might be awarded from the EGF. 

Procedures for consulting the social partners 

22. 

The  measures  have  been  discussed  at  the  board  of  the  'Agenzia  di  Lavoro  della 
Provincia Autonoma di Trento' (Employment Agency of the autonomous province of 
Trento)  which  includes  the  social  partners  as  1/3  of  the  board  members  are 
nominated  by  trade  unions  and  another  1/3  by  employers.  In  the  autonomous 
province  of  Bolzano-Bozen  the  measures  have  been  discussed  at  the  'Commissione 
Provinciale per il Fondo Sociale Europeo' (Provincial Committee for the ESF). This 
committee also includes the social partners. 

23. 

The Italian authorities confirmed that the requirements laid down in national and EU 
legislation concerning collective redundancies have been complied with. 

Information  on  actions  that  are  mandatory  by  virtue  of  national  law  or  pursuant  to 
collective agreements 

24. 

As regards the criteria contained in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, the 
Italian authorities in their application: 

•  confirmed that the financial contribution from the EGF does not replace measures 
which are the responsibility of companies by virtue of national law or collective 
agreements; 

•  demonstrated that the actions provide support for individual workers and are not 

to be used for restructuring companies or sectors; 

•  confirmed  that  the  eligible  actions  referred  to  above  do  not  receive  assistance 

from other EU financial instruments. 

Management and control systems  

25. 

Italy has notified the Commission that the financial contribution will be managed and 
controlled  by  the  same  bodies  that  manage  and  control  the  ESF.  The  Agenzia  di 
Lavoro della Provincia Autonoma di Trento (the Labour Agency of the Autonomous 
Province  of  Trento)  and  the  Provincia  Autonoma  di  Bolzano/Bozen  -  Ufficio 
Politique  del  Lavoro  a  Finanziamento  Europeo  (the  Autonomous  Province  of 
Bolzano-Bozen) will be the intermediate bodies for the managing authority.

29. 

On the basis of the application from Italy, the proposed contribution from the EGF to 
the  coordinated  package  of  personalised  services  (including  expenditure  to 
implement  EGF)  is  EUR 3 918 850,  representing  65 %  of  the  total  cost.  The 
Commission's proposed allocation under the Fund is based on the information made 
available by Italy. 

Considering the maximum possible amount of a financial contribution from the EGF 
under  Article  10(1)  of  Regulation  (EC)  No  1927/2006,  as  well  as  the  scope  for 
reallocating  appropriations,  the  Commission  proposes  to  mobilise  the  EGF  for  the 
total  amount  referred  to  above,  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  Regulation  (EC)  No 
1927/2006. 

By  presenting  this  proposal  to  mobilise  the  EGF,  the  Commission  initiates  the 
simplified  trialogue  procedure,  as  required  by  Point  28  of  the  Interinstitutional 
Agreement of 17 May 2006, 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. 

30. 

The Commission presents separately a transfer request in order to enter in the 2011 
budget specific commitment and payment appropriations, as required in Point 28 of 
the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006. 

Source of payment appropriations  

31. 

Amending budget 3/2011 increased EGF budget line 04.0501 by EUR 50 000 000 in 
payment appropriations. Appropriations from this budget line will be used to cover 
the amount of EUR 3 918 850 needed for the present application.

Proposal for a 

DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL 

on the 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 (application EGF/2011/002 IT/Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol 
Construction of buildings from Italy) 

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION, 

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, 

Having  regard  to  the  Interinstitutional  Agreement  of  17  May  2006  between  the  European 
Parliament,  the  Council  and  the  Commission  on  budgetary  discipline  and  sound  financial 
management10, 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  Fund11, 
and in particular Article 12(3) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission12, 

Whereas: 

(1) 

(2) 

(3) 

(4) 

The  European  Globalisation  Adjustment  Fund  (EGF)  was  established  to  provide 
additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes 
in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration 
into the labour market. 

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

Italy submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 323 
enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 41 ('Construction of buildings') 
in  the  NUTS  II  region  of  Trentino-Alto  Adige/Südtirol  (ITD1  and  ITD2),  on  7

February 2011 and supplemented it by additional information up to 6 July 2011. This 
application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions 
as  laid  down  in  Article  10  of  Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.  The  Commission, 
therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 3 918 850. 

(5) 

The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution 
for the application submitted by Italy.
