            DECISION (EU) 2023/1022 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
         
of 10 May 2023
         
on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers following an application from Spain – EGF/2022/003 ES/Alu Ibérica


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 Regulation (EU) 2021/691 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 28 April 2021 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) and repealing Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 (1), and in particular Article 15(1), first subparagraph, thereof,


Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 16 December 2020 between the European Parliament, the Council of the European Union and the European Commission on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management, as well as on new own resources, including a roadmap towards the introduction of new own resources (2), and in particular point 9 thereof,


Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:







(1)


The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) aims to demonstrate solidarity and promote decent and sustainable employment in the Union by providing support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased in the case of major restructuring events and assisting them in returning to decent and sustainable employment as soon as possible.












(2)


The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 186 million (in 2018 prices), as laid down in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 (3).












(3)


On 30 November 2022, Spain submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of worker’s displacements in Alu Ibérica LC S.L. in Spain. It was supplemented by additional information provided in accordance with Article 8(5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/691. That application complies with the conditions for a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2021/691.












(4)


The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 1 275 000 in respect of the application submitted by Spain.












(5)


In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this decision should apply from the date of its adoption,





HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:



Article 1
For the general budget of the Union for the financial year 2023, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers shall be mobilised to provide the amount of EUR 1 275 000 in commitment and payment appropriations.


Article 2
This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union. It shall apply from 10 May 2023.
