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  1  July  2011,  Spain  submitted  application  EGF/2011/006  ES/Comunidad  Valenciana 
Construction of buildings for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies 
in  513  enterprises  operating  in  the  NACE  Revision  2  Division  41  ('Construction  of 
buildings')3 in the NUTS II region of Comunidad Valenciana (ES52) in Spain. 

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 meets the conditions for deploying the EGF as set out in Article 2(b)

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

3.

5. 

6. 

In order to establish the link between the redundancies and the global financial and 
economic crisis, Spain argues that the construction sector has been severely affected 
by the crisis. Loans to the construction sector and 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  Plan  that  the  construction 
industry in the EU had 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 eight consecutive quarters (Q1/2009 to Q4/2010) compared with the same period 
of  the  previous  year,  mainly  due  to  the  decrease  in  private  investment  in  the 
residential sector.

In 2009 construction output in Spain followed the same negative trend as the EU-27 
average. However, in 2010 and the first quarter of 2011 the downturn in the Spanish 
construction sector was further exacerbated. 

Other  indicators,  such  the  number  of  building  permits  or  the  number  of  buildings 
started,  give  further  evidence  of  the  decline  in  demand  for  buildings  (houses)  in 
Spain. The number of building permits granted in Spain decreased by 75,6 % in 2009 
and  82,8 %  in  2010  compared  with  2007,  the  last  pre-crisis  year.  The  number  of 
buildings  started  decreased  by  52,2 %  in  2009  compared  with  2008  and  by  76,7 % 
compared with 2007. 

7. 

The arguments presented in previous cases concerning the construction of buildings 
sector5 and in which the redundancies were a direct result of the crisis remain valid.

9. 

Spain  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 1 138 redundancies in 513 enterprises operating in the NACE 
Revision  2  Division  41  ('Construction  of  buildings')  in  the  NUTS  II  region  of 
Comunidad Valenciana (ES52) during the nine-month reference period from 25 July 
2010  to  25  April  2011.  Of  these  redundancies  747  were  calculated  in  accordance 
with the second indent of the second paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 
1927/2006. A further 391 redundancies were calculated in accordance with the third 
indent  of  the  same  paragraph.  The  Commission  has  received  the  confirmation 
required under the third indent of the second paragraph of Article 2(2) that this is the 
actual number of redundancies effected. 

Explanation of the unforeseen nature of those redundancies 

10. 

The  Spanish  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. As a result of the crisis, 
economic  developments  since  2008  have  not  been  following  the  trends  of  previous 
years.  The  redundancies  in  the  construction  industry  could  not  therefore  have  been 
foreseen or easily prevented. 

Identification of the dismissing enterprises and workers targeted for assistance

All 1 138 redundant workers will be targeted for assistance. The Spanish authorities, 
based  on  their  previous  experience  in  managing  EGF  contributions,  estimate  that 
about 400 workers will opt to participate in the EGF measures.

In accordance with Article 7 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, Spain 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 

18. 

The  territory  concerned  by  the  redundancies  is  within  the  NUTS  II  region  of 
Comunidad  Valenciana.  Of  all  Spanish  enterprises  11,5 %  are  based  in  this  region. 
The  manufacturing  sector  represents  26 %  of  total  employment  here,  while  the

service  sector  represents  60 %,  construction  10 %  and  the  primary  sector  4 %.  The 
business  model  in  Comunidad  Valenciana  is  characterised  by  a  high  proportion  of 
small  and  medium  sized  enterprises  specialised  mainly  in  the  manufacture  of 
furniture,  shoes,  textiles,  ceramics  and  toys.  These  industries  are  concentrated  in 
districts around a limited number of municipalities. 

19. 

The main stakeholders are the Generalitat Valenciana (the autonomous government 
of  Comunidad  Valenciana)  and  in  particular  the  SERVEF  (public  labour  offices  of 
the  autonomous  government);  the  trade  unions  UGT-PV,  and  CCOO-PV;  and  the 
employer associations APECC (the provincial association of building companies of 
Castellón),  FEVEC  (the  Valencian  federation  of  construction  entrepreneurs)  and 
FECIA  (the  provincial  federation  of  building  companies  and  related  industries  of 
Alicante). 

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

20. 

21. 

Unemployment in Comunidad Valenciana increased in 2010 by 12,2 % compared to 
2009 and by 309 % compared to the pre-crisis year 2007. In 2010, workers laid off in 
the construction sector accounted for 28,18 % of total layoffs in the region, while in 
2007 they only accounted for 6,3 %. 

The  employment  situation  in  the  affected  area  seems  particularly  fragile,  given  the 
impact  of  the  crisis  on  traditional  sectors  such  as  the  textile  sector,  or  on  sectors 
related to construction such as the ceramic sector or the sector of cutting, shaping and 
finishing  of  stone,  as  these  sectors  are  very  important  for  the  region's  economy. 
Following redundancies in the Comunidada Valenciana in sectors mentioned above, 
Spain submitted applications8 for financial contributions from the EGF in September 
2009 and March 2010. 

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 

22. 

All the following measures combine to form a co-ordinated package of personalised 
services aimed at re-integrating the workers into the labour market. 

–  Guidance: The first measure provided to all participants concerns the profiling of 
the  workers,  information  on  available  jobs,  on  skills  and  training  requirements, 
and on available training programmes. 

–  Job-search  support:  This  will  involve  personalised  support  including  tutoring; 
individual job search support (i.e. to provide all targeted workers with the material 
means and individual coaching during job-search activities); intensive job-search 
assistance,  including  active  research  of  the  local  and  regional  employment 
opportunities; and job search training including training aiming at enhancing the 
workers' self-knowledge and strengthening also their self-esteem.

–  Promotion  of  entrepreneurship:  This  will  include  workshops  of  short  duration 
focused  on  raising  awareness  of  self-employment  as  an  employment  option  and 
promoting  business  initiatives  for  self-employment,  as  well  as  specific  training 
activities for workers willing to start their own business. This will involve various 
activities such as training on social economy and SME management; information 
on  new  construction 
technologies  where  business  or  self-employment 
opportunities  exist  or  will  arise;  counselling  on  projects  and  initiatives; 
accompaniment towards business creation, fundraising, etc.  

–  Training,  retraining  and  vocational  training;  and  training  for  trainers:  This  will 
include basic training, prior to the acquisition of new skills such as basic training 
in ICT or training in horizontal skills; training for skills upgrading and vocational 
training for jobs related to construction; or in sectors where opportunities exist or 
will  arise,  as  well  as  training  courses  geared  to  business  management,  etc. 
Training  for  trainers  aims  to  provide  those  redundant  workers,  whose  work 
experience makes them suitable as trainers in crafts related to construction, with 
the necessary teaching skills. 

–  Monitor on equal opportunities: A monitor on equal opportunities will ensure that 
the  principle  of  equal  treatment  /  equal  opportunities  is  respected  during  the 
implementation  of  the  measures.  This  aims  at  removing  any  personal  or  family 
barriers that may prevent the targeted workers from accessing the measures. 

–  Participation  incentive:  To  encourage  their  participation  in  the  measures,  the 
workers  will  receive  a  lump  sum  of  EUR 400  for  completing  their  own 
personalised package of measures. 

–  Contribution  to  commuting  expenses:  As  a  contribution  to  their  commuting 
expenses, workers participating in the measures will receive a lump sum ranging 
from  EUR 50  to  EUR 300,  depending  on  the  distance  to  the  training  centre  and 
the duration of the courses.  

–  Entrepreneurship  incentive:  The  workers  who  return  to  employment  by  starting 
their  own  businesses  will  receive  a  lump  sum  of  EUR  3 000.  This  incentive  is 
designed  to  support  self-employed  workers  during  the  start-up  months  of  their 
business. 

23. 

24. 

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  Spanish  authorities  are  active  labour 
market measures within the eligible actions defined by Article 3 of Regulation (EC) 
No  1927/2006.  The  Spanish  authorities  estimate  the  total  costs  of  these  services  at 
EUR 2 526 200  and  the  expenditure  for  implementing  the  EGF  at  EUR 114 000 
(4,51 %  of  the  total  amount).  The  total  contribution  requested  from  the  EGF  is 
EUR 1 642 030 (65 % of the total costs).

Spain  confirms  that  the  measures  described  above  are  complementary  with  actions 
funded  by  the  Structural  Funds  and  that  measures  are  in  place  to  prevent  double 
funding. 

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

26. 

Spain  started  the  personalised  services  to  the  affected  workers  included  in  the  co-
ordinated package proposed for co-financing to the EGF on 30 September 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 

27. 

The proposed application was discussed at several meetings with the social partners 
referred to under point 18 above. In addition, the social partners will also participate 
during  the  implementation  period  through  the  'Interest  Group'  (the  representative 
body of the various stakeholders: regional administration, trade unions and employer 
associations) created to implement, monitor and evaluate the measures. 

28. 

The  Spanish  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 

29. 

As regards the criteria contained in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, the 
Spanish 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  

30. 

Spain  has  notified  the  Commission  that  the  financial  contribution  will  be  managed 
and  controlled  by  the  same  bodies  that  manage  and  control  the  ESF.  The  General 
Directorate  European  Projects  and  Funds  of  the  Regional  Ministry  of  Finance  and 
Government  of  the  Comunidad  Valenciana10  will  be  the  intermediate  body  for  the 
managing authority.

On the basis of the application from Spain, the proposed contribution from the EGF 
to  the  coordinated  package  of  personalised  services  (including  expenditure  to 
implement  EGF)  is  EUR 1 642 030,  representing  65 %  of  the  total  cost.  The 
Commission's proposed allocation under the Fund is based on the information made 
available by Spain. 

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. 

35. 

The Commission presents separately a transfer request in order to enter in the 2012 
budget  specific  commitment  appropriations,  as  required  in  Point  28  of  the 
Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006.

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/2011/006 ES/Comunidad Valenciana 
Construction of buildings from Spain) 

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 
management11, 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  Fund12, 
and in particular Article 12(3) thereof, 

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission13, 

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. 

Spain submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 513 
enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 41 ('Construction of buildings') 
in  the  NUTS  II  region  of  Comunidad  Valenciana  (ES52),  on  1  July  2011  and

proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 1 642 030. 

(5) 

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