Eligibility of the application 

Enterprises and beneficiaries concerned 

5. 

The application relates to 2 132 workers made redundant in MoryGlobal SAS. This 
enterprise  operated  primarily  in  the  economic  sector  classified  under  the  NACE 
Revision  2 Division  49  (Land  transport  and transport  via  pipelines)  and  also  in  the 
NACE  Revision  2  Division  52  (Warehousing  and  support  activities  for 
transportation). The redundancies made by MoryGlobal SAS are located throughout 
mainland France. The locations with the highest number are situated in the following

Intervention criteria 

6. 

7. 

France submitted the application under the intervention criteria of  Article 4(1)(a) of 
the EGF Regulation, which requires at least 500 workers being made redundant over 
a  reference  period  of  four  months  in  an  enterprise  in  a  Member  State,  including 
workers  made  redundant  by  suppliers  and  downstream  producers  and / or  self-
employed persons whose activity has ceased. 

The reference period of four months for the application runs from 27 April 2015 to 
27 August 2015. During the reference period 2 093 workers were made redundant in 
MoryGlobal.  

Calculation of redundancies and of cessation of activity 

8. 

All the redundancies during the reference period have been calculated from the date 
of  the  employer's  individual  notice  to  lay  off  or  to  terminate  the  contract  of 
employment of the worker.  

Eligible beneficiaries 

9. 

In  addition  to  the  workers  already  referred  to,  the  eligible  beneficiaries  include  39 
workers. These workers were all made redundant after the end of the reference period 
and  a  clear  causal  link  can  be  established  with  the  event  which  triggered  the 
redundancies during the reference period.. 

10. 

The total number of eligible beneficiaries is 2 132. 

Link  between  the  redundancies  and  the  global  financial  and  economic  crisis  addressed  in 

Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 

11. 

12. 

In order to establish the link between the redundancies and the global financial and 
economic  crisis  addressed  in  Regulation  (EC)  No  546/2009,  France  argues  that 
MoryGlobal  was  active  in  the  fields  of  courier  services,  freight  transport  and 
delivery,  warehousing  and  rental  of  related  materials;  and  provided  these  services 
both within France and abroad. 

As  a  result  of  the  global  financial  and  economic  crisis,  road  haulage  in  vehicles 
weighing more than 3,5 tonnes declined by 13,7 % in the EU and by 21 % in France 
between  2007  and  2012  (Eurostat).  This  decline  has  been  following  the  general 
decline of physical output in Europe and the road transport sector in Europe has not 
yet recovered from the major activity decline it suffered in 2009 due to the economic

14. 

15. 

crisis. In 2014, the activity of road freight transport remained more than 10 % lower 
compared with the pre-crisis activity.  

Faced with the reduction in volumes to be transported, a price war broke out within 
the sector, which was not helped by the upward evolution in the various costs (petrol, 
wages, materials), thus leading to a steady deterioration in operating margins and a 
series of losses for the sector in France since 2007. 

This  has  been  followed  by  a  wave  of  bankruptcies  in  the  road  haulage  sector, 
estimated  by  the  Bank  of  France  to  have  increased  by  35 %  annually  when 
comparing 2013 with 2007.  

To date, the Land transport and transport via pipelines sector has been the subject of 
three  EGF 
and 
EGF/2011/001 AT/ Nieder-  und  Oberoesterreich7,  all  of  them  based  on  the  global 
financial and economic crisis.

Events giving rise to the redundancies and cessation of activity 

16. 

17. 

18. 

19. 

The  events  giving  rise  to  these  redundancies  are  the  bankruptcy  and  closure  of  the 
company.  

The  current  difficulties  of  MoryGlobal  go  back  to  2012/2013.  At  the  time  the 
enterprise  was  known  as  Mory-Ducros.  Mory-Ducros  declared  itself  insolvent  on 
November 2013 and entered into liquidation procedures. Faced with the absence of 
willing buyers and at the request of the French authorities, Arcole Industrie, one of 
the  shareholders  of  Mory-Ducros,  presented  a  takeover  bid  for  Mory-Ducros  on 
behalf of MoryGlobal, a new company to be created for the purpose of the takeover 
of  part  of  Mory-Ducros'  businesses  and  re-employment  of  some  of  its  workforce 
(2 192 workers out of 4 911)8. 

Since  its  creation,  MoryGlobal  faced  the  continuation  of  challenges  such  as  the 
continuous  deterioration  of  the  messaging  market  coupled  with  a  decrease  in  road 
haulage volumes between 3 % and 5 % in 2014, which led to permanent pressure on 
prices  and  a  difficult  social  environment.  These  challenges  resulted  in  losses  of 
EUR 27,1 million over the period February-September 2014 with even higher losses 
forecast for the end of 2014 (EUR 43 million) and eventually in the bankruptcy and 
closure of the company. 

On 10 November 2014, the procedure to reach an amicable settlement with creditors 
was  launched  by  the  commercial  court  of  Bobigny.  At  the  end  of  January  2015, 
MoryGlobal was in a state of cessation of payments. The enterprise needed EUR 8,5 
million cash and its current assets were not enough to meet the amount of short-term 
liabilities, in particular the subcontractors without which the company's activity was 
no  longer  possible.  Thus  on  10  February  2015  MoryGlobal  filed  a  declaration  of 
cessation  of  payments  in  the  commercial  court  of  Bobigny  which  launched  the 
relevant judicial proceedings. On 17 March 2015, since the company was unable to 
cope  with  the  payment  of  salaries  in  full,  a  request  for  liquidation  was  filed.  The 
commercial court of Bobigny decided on judicial liquidation with continuation of the 
activities until 30 April 2015, for the needs of the collective redundancy procedure.

This is a follow-up application, in support of the Mory-Ducros workers9 who moved 
to MoryGlobal. 

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

employment 

21. 

The  redundancies  are  spread  across  22  départements  in  the  whole  of  mainland 
France.  The  redundancies  have  a  significant  adverse  impact  on  the  regional 
economies particularly since the same territories are still struggling to cope with the 
redundant workers dismissed one year earlier by Mory-Ducros. This in a situation of 
increasing  unemployment  in  continental  France  (in  2015  unemployment  rate  was 3 
percentual points higher than in 2008, when the economic and financial crisis began). 
Furthermore some of the regions concerned have higher unemployment rates than the 
national  average,  such  as  Nord-Pas  de  Calais-Picardie  (+2,5  percentual  points)  and 
Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur (+1,5 percentual points)10.

The EGF cofunded personalised services to be provided to redundant workers consist 
of  advice  and  guidance  to  the  redundant  workers  provided  by  a  team  of  expert 
consultants (Dispositif d'Accompagnement Renforce – DAR.). 

The  DAR  comes  on  top  of  the  social  plan  and  the  Contrat  de  Sécurisation 
Professionnelle (CSP). The social plan funded by Mory-Global and AGS11, the wage 
guarantee scheme, provides the redundant workers with a range of measures among 
which training, psychological support, contribution to business start-up, contribution 
to  commuting / travel  expenses  and  accommodation  costs  when  participating  in 
training or in connection with job-search, as well as job-search allowances. The CSP

offers  a  range  of  active  measures  (foremost  among  which  training)  funded  by  the 
French State to help the workers back into employment.  

The  task  of  the  three  contractors  selected  (BPI,  Sodie  and  AFPA  Transitions)  is  to 
assist and guide the redundant workers and help them find solutions enabling them to 
remain  in  the  labour  market  and  embark  on  new  jobs.  The  same  contractors  have 
already  been  providing  personalised  services  to  the  workers  made  redundant  by 
Mory-Ducros in 2014. 

For budgeting purposes the personalised services within the DAR have been grouped 
in three subgroups: collective and individual information sessions, job transition, and 
accompaniment towards new jobs. 

The  agencies  are  contracted  to  provide  to  each participant  (a) a  personalised  career 
path and (b) a sufficient number of job offers, they must (c) enable them to consult 
general experts and / or experts specialised in enterprise creation, who have excellent 
knowledge of the employment market in the region and are available and responsive. 

The  agencies  will  provide  training  workshops  for  general  competences  (e.g.  CV 
preparation,  interview  preparation,  job-search  skills  and  business  creation),  training 
in  the  use  of  the  internet,  job  fairs  and  meetings  with  employers  or  sector 
representatives, and meetings with training institutions. 

The  proposed  actions,  here  described,  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. 

France has provided the required information on actions that are mandatory for the 
enterprise concerned by virtue of national law or pursuant to collective agreements. 
They have confirmed that a financial contribution from the EGF will not replace such 
actions.

contribution from the EGF from 23 April 2015 to 19 November 2017. 

France  started  incurring  the administrative  expenditure  to  implement  the  EGF  on 1 
September  2015.  The  expenditure  for  preparatory,  management,  information  and 
publicity,  control  and  reporting  activities  shall  therefore  be  eligible  for  a  financial 
contribution from the EGF from 1 September 2015 to 19 May 2018.

37. 

The source of national pre-financing or co-funding is the budget of the Ministry for 
Labour, Employment, Vocational Training and Social Dialogue using the budget line 
for the accompaniment of economic change and development of employment. 

France  has  confirmed  that  the  measure  described  above  receiving  a  financial 
contribution  from  the  EGF  will  not  also  receive  financial  contributions  from  other 
Union financial instruments. 

Procedures  for  consulting  the  targeted  beneficiaries  or  their  representatives  or  the  social 

partners as well as local and regional authorities 

38. 

France has indicated that the co-ordinated package of personalised services has been 
drawn up in consultation with the representatives of the targeted beneficiaries and the 
social partners. Numerous meetings took place between 7 and 17 April 2015. These 
meetings  concerned  the  entire  package  of  measures,  of  which  the  EGF  aspect  (the 
Dispositif d'Accompagnement Renforcé — DAS —) is one part.  

Management and control systems 

39. 

The application contains a description of the management and control system which 
specifies  the  responsibilities  of  the  bodies  involved.  France  has  notified  the 
Commission  that  the  financial  contribution  will  be  managed  by  the  Délégation 
générale  à  l’emploi  et  à  la  formation  professionnelle  (DGEFP)  of  the  Ministry  of 
Labour, Employment, Vocational Training and Social Dialogue, in particular by the 
unit Fonds national de l'emploi (DGEFP - FNE). The payments will be made within 
the DGEFP  by the unit  Affaires  financières (DGEFP - MAFI). Certification will be 
carried out by the Agence de services et de paiement (ASP).  

Commitments provided by the Member State concerned 

40.

No 1311/2013  of  2  December  2013  laying  down  the  multiannual  financial 
framework for the years 2014-202012. 

Having examined the application in respect of the conditions set out in Article 13(1) 
of  the  EGF  Regulation,  and  having  taken  into  account  the  number  of  targeted 
beneficiaries, the proposed actions and the estimated costs, the Commission proposes 
to mobilise the EGF for the amount of EUR 5 146 800, representing 60 % of the total 
costs  of  the  proposed  actions,  in  order  to  provide  a  financial  contribution  for  the 
application. 

The  proposed  decision  to  mobilise  the  EGF  will  be  taken  jointly  by  the  European 
Parliament  and  the  Council,  as  laid  down  in  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 management13.

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 5 146 800. 

At the same time as  it adopts this  proposal for a  decision to mobilise the EGF, the 
Commission  will  adopt  a  decision  on  a  financial  contribution,  by  means  of  an 
implementing  act,  which  will  enter  into  force  on  the  date  at  which  the  European 
Parliament and the Council adopt the proposed decision to mobilise the EGF.

The  European  Globalisation  Adjustment  Fund  (EGF)  aims  to  provide  support  for 
workers  made  redundant  and  self-employed  persons  whose  activity  has  ceased  as  a 
result  of  major  structural  changes  in  world  trade  patterns  due  to  globalisation,  as  a 
result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis, or as a result of a 
new  global  financial  and  economic  crisis,  and  to  assist  them  with  their  reintegration 
into the labour market. 

The  EGF  is  not  to  exceed  a  maximum  annual  amount  of  EUR 150  million  (2011 
in  Article 12  of  Council  Regulation  (EU,  Euratom) 
prices),  as
