			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 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 management (application EGF/2013/010 ES/Castilla y León from Spain) /* COM/2014/0478 final */
			
				
		
		
			
			   	EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU,
Euratom) No 1311/2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for
the years 2014-2020[1]
allows for the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF)
within the annual ceiling of EUR 150 million (2011 prices) over
and above the relevant headings of the financial framework.
The rules applicable to the contributions
from the EGF for applications submitted until 31 December 2013 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 Fund[2].
On 5 December 2013, Spain submitted
application EGF/2013/010 ES/Castilla y León for a financial contribution from
the EGF, following redundancies in three enterprises operating in the NACE
Revision 2 Division 16 (Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork,
except furniture; manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials)[3] in the NUTS II region
of Castilla y León (ES41) 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.

Article 5 of that Regulation.
Link between the redundancies and
major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation
3.           In order to establish the
link between the redundancies and major structural changes in world trade
patterns due to globalisation, Spain argues that the market of builders'
joinery and carpentry of wood products worldwide is shrinking and the volume of
global trade (worldwide exports) of this commodity has been decreasing during
the past years. According to data from UN Comtrade[5], in 2008 worldwide
exports of builders' joinery and carpentry of wood amounted to 14,2 billion US dollars
while in 2011 they were 13,7 billion US dollars, representing a decline of 3,40 %.
During the period 2008-2011 the volume of the EU 27 exports of builders'
joinery and carpentry of wood products decreased by 10,33 %.

Souce: UN Comtrade

Volume of global trade of builders' joinery and carpentry of wood 
(change in %)
 
4.           The applicant Member State
further refers to UN Comtrade statistics to demonstrate the decrease of
the share of the EU 27 in the volume of global trade of builders' joinery
and carpentry of wood which dropped from 17,24 % in 2008 to 16 % in
2011 while during the same period the Philippines almost doubled its market
share (which rose from 6,31 % to 12,13 %) and other Far East
countries also increased their market share although to a lesser extent, such
as China whose market share increased by15 % and Malaysia by 37 %. This
decline in EU 27 in market share had a negative impact on the number of
enterprises operating in the sector, as well as on employment. The Commission stated
in the staff working document accompanying Commission communication on 'A new
EU forest Strategy for forest and the forest based sector'[6] that the number of
enterprises in the manufacture of wood and of products of wood decreased by
8 % in the period 2003-2010 while employment in the sector decreased by
20 % in the period 2000-2011. 
5.           According to the Spanish
authorities, during the period 2008-2011 the volume of exports of builders'
joinery and carpentry of wood products of the Castilla y León enterprises
decreased, as exports at EU level did. However whilst EU 27 exports
declined by 10,33 % the decline of exports of Castilla y León enterprises
was 37 %[7] 
6.           In addition the Spanish
authorities citing INE[8]
data argue that as a result of the shrinking market for builders' joinery and
carpentry of wood products worldwide and the loss of market share of the EU27,
the number of enterprises manufacturing wood and products of wood and cork,
except furniture in Castilla y León decreased from 1 100 in 2008 to 855 in
2013 representing a decline of 22,3 %. At national level the decline was
even greater. In the period 2008-2013 the number of enterprises decreased from
16 575 to 11 806 units. This representing a decline by 28,8 %. 
7.           The redundancies in
Castilla y León can be linked to these major structural changes in the world
trade in builders' joinery and carpentry of wood with their consequent effects
on the NACE Revision 2 Division 16. 
Demonstration of the number of
redundancies and compliance with the criteria of Article 2(b)
8.           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.
9.           The application cites 587
redundancies in three enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 16
(Manufacture of wood and of products of wood and cork, except furniture;
manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials) in the NUTS II region
of Castilla y León (ES41) during the nine-month reference period from 28
December 2012 to 28 September 2013. Of these redundancies 560 were calculated
in accordance with the second indent of the second paragraph of Article 2 of
Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. A further 27 redundancies
occurred in Kronospan S.A. and 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 between 2003 and 2005 Puertas Norma made investments amounting to
EUR 4,8 million in new machinery to enhance the added value of the
products and reducing production costs by using more efficient manufacturing
processes in an attempt to adapt to the changes undergoing in the builders'
joinery and carpentry of wood sector worldwide. In 2006 a new production plant
with an area of 40 000 square meters was opened. This new plan, which was
one of the most modern and technologically advanced in the European industry,
had at that time 700 employees. The investment paid off and in 2007 the
turnover exceeded EUR 70 million representing an increase of 24 %
over the previous year. In 2008, after the onset of the economic and financial
crisis, when the construction sector declined by about 30-35 % and
therefore the production of doors and doors' frames shrank, the turnover of
Puertas Norma only decreased by 8 % compared with 2007. During the
following years the enterprise was still doing well, taking into consideration
the general economic situation. However in 2010 the Jeld-Wen Group — main
shareholder of Puertas Norma — decided to reinforce some business lines in
synergy with the group's recovery plan to the detriment of other lines of
business. In October 2011, after failing to reach an agreement with the trade unions
on a plan which included a pay cut of 25 % and 286 redundancies, the
enterprise went into voluntary bankruptcy procedure.
Identification of the dismissing
enterprises and workers targeted for assistance
11.         The application relates to 587
redundancies in the following three enterprises: 
 Enterprises and number of dismissals 
 Puertas Norma S.A. || 553 
 Kronospan S.L. || 27 
 Pallets y Embalajes Pascual S.L. || 7 
 Total enterprises: 3 || Total dismissals: 587 
12.         All the redundant workers
will be offered the possibility of participating in the measures. The Spanish
authorities, based on their previous experience in managing EGF cases, estimate
that about 400 workers will opt to participate in the EGF measures.
13.         The break-down of the
redundant workers is as follows:
 Category || Number || Percent 
 Men || 457 || 77,85 
 Women || 130 || 22,15 
 EU citizens || 587 || 100,00 
 Non EU citizens || 0 || 0,00 
 15-24 years old || 3 || 0,51 
 25-54 years old || 426 || 72,57 
 55-64 years old || 142 || 24,19 
 > 64 years old || 16 || 2,73 
14.         There are 17 workers with a
long-standing health problem or disability.
15.         In terms of occupational
categories, the break-down is as follows:
 Category || Number || Percent 
 Managers || 14 || 2,39 
 Professionals || 13 || 2,21 
 Technicians and associate professionals || 25 || 4,26 
 Clerks || 94 || 16,01 
 Craft and related trade workers || 83 || 14,14 
 Plant and machine operators || 242 || 41,23 
 Elementary occupations || 116 || 19,76 
16.         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
17.         The territory concerned by
the redundancies is the NUTS II region of Castilla y León and in particular the
 county Pinares, a territory within the contiguous provinces of Burgos and Soria.
18.         Castilla y León is the third
largest region of the EU (94 227 km2), surpassing in land area 17
of the 28 Member States while at the same time it is a region with a very low
population density: 27,4 inhabitants per km2. Castilla y León
accounts for 5,3 % of the Spanish GDP and the regional per capita income is
the same as the national average[9].
The business model in Castilla y Leon is mainly family-type or micro SMEs (95 %
of the enterprises fall into this category). The enterprise distribution by
sector is as follows: 68 % services, 16 % industry, 8 %
construction and 8 % agriculture.
19.         The main stakeholders are
the Junta de Castilla y León — the autonomous government of the region —,
the mayors of the 36 affected municipalities, the trade unions: MCA-UGT and
FECOMA-CCOO[10]
, and the employers' associations FOES, ASIM, ASIF, CEMCAL and CECALE[11] .
Expected impact of the redundancies
as regards local, regional or national employment
20.         Employment in Castilla y
León has been severely affected by the crisis. The unemployment rate in the
region increased rapidly, rising from 8,2 % (Q1 2008) to 22,70[12] % (Q1 2013).
The employment situation in the affected region seems particularly fragile,
given the extremely low population density of Soria — one of the two
provinces affected by the redundancies — which is just 9,2 inhabitants per
km2 (i.e one third of the regional average). Due to its extremely low
population density the redundancies have an adverse impact on the local economy
more serious than the figures alone seem to show.
21.         The Spanish authorities
argue that the redundancies in the manufacture of wood and of products of wood
sector will further aggravate the unemployment situation, since the affected
territory, Pinares (literally 'pine groves'), is highly dependent on the wood
sector and the pine trees constitute the main economic resource which has
resulted in an industrial area of primary and secondary processing of wood. 
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 which aims at
re-integrating the redundant workers into employment:
–     
Welcome and information sessions: This is the first measure to be offered to all redundant workers
and includes: general information sessions and individual information sessions
on skills and training requirements; on available counselling and training
programmes; and on allowances and incentives.
–     
Occupational guidance and counselling: This involves the profiling of the participant workers and the
design of the customised reintegration pathway, as well as counselling and
follow-up of the personalised support throughout the implementation period.
–     
Intensive job-search assistance. This will involve an intensive employment search, including search
for local and regional employment opportunities and job-matching. 
–     
Training. The
training measure will include a variety of training courses: (1) Training
in transversal skills. The training offer will include workshops on
job-search techniques, training in personal and social skills, in information
and communication technologies (ICT), and in foreign languages. (2) Vocational
training. The vocational training will focus on sectors where opportunities
exist o are expected to arise, such as nursing assistants in geriatrics,
mycology (training on wild mushrooms, how to recognise the edible varieties, sustainable
mushrooms picking, etc), tourism in rural areas or jobs which require
vocational licensing in particular those related to professions in the field of
wood, cork and furniture. (3) Preparation of tests towards
recognition of skills acquired through work experience..
–     
Promotion of entrepreneurship. A wide array of supports are being made available to redundant
workers who are considering starting their own businesses. (1) Introductory
modules focused on promoting business initiatives for self-employment and
on generation of business ideas. (2) Training towards
entrepreneurship covering different levels of the entrepreneurship process
from the basic information or first contact to more elaborate issues like
planning, carrying out feasibility studies, preparation of business plans, etc.
(3) Counselling on projects and initiatives aimed to develop,
produce and guide viable business or self-employment projects. (4) Accompaniment
towards business creation: This measure will consist of personalized
tutoring during the whole process of starting the business. (5) Logistic
and financial support: This relates to fundraising and support on
administrative requirements to successfully apply for incentives to set up a
business. It is estimated that 100 workers will participate in the first three
stages (introductory modules, training and counselling) whilst 50 will
participate in the more advanced stages (accompaniment towards business
creation and fundraising).
–     
Incentives. There
will be four types of incentives. (1) Participation incentive. To
encourage their participation in the measures, the workers will receive a lump
sum of EUR 150 after three months of active participation and completion
of at least one of the measures of their own personalised package of measures.
It is estimated that all workers will receive this incentive. (2) Contribution
to commuting expenses. Those workers participating in a measure taking
place outside their town of residence will receive a contribution to commuting
expenses equal to the cost of public transportation from their town to the town
where the measure takes place. If due to a lack of suitable public
transportation among the local towns, the participants have to use their own
vehicles to commute they will receive EUR 0,19 per kilometre. It is
estimated that 180 workers will receive this incentive. (3) Contribution
to the expenses for change of residence. The workers who change residence
and move to a different town in order to take a job, will receive a lump sum of
EUR 1 000 to cover the necessary expenditure. It is estimated that 26
workers will receive this incentive. (4) Support for setting up a
business. Workers who start their own businesses will receive up to EUR 3 000
to cover setting-up costs. It is estimated that 15 workers will receive this
incentive. (5) Employment incentives: A subsidy of EUR 350 per
month for a maximum of ten months will be paid to those workers who return to
employment as self-employed workers. It is estimated that 30 workers will
receive this incentive. (6) Contribution to the expenses for carers of
dependent persons. Workers with dependent persons (children, elderly or
disabled persons) will receive EUR 100 monthly (up to six months) while
participating in the measures. This aims to cover the additional costs faced by
the workers with caring responsibilities in order to avail themselves of
training or other measures. It is estimated that 35 workers will receive this
incentive. (7) Training allowance. The participants who attend 75 %
or more of the training sessions scheduled in their personalized pathway
towards employment, will receive EUR 150 after completing the training. It
is estimated that 140 workers will receive this incentive.
23.         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.
24.         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 at EUR 1 400 000, of which
the expenditure for personalised services at EUR 1 350 000 and
the expenditure for implementing the EGF at EUR 50 000 (3,57 %
of the total amount). The total contribution requested from the EGF is
EUR 700 000 (50 % of the total costs).

(*) To avoid decimals, the
estimated costs per worker have been rounded. However the rounding has no
impact on the total cost of each measure which remains as in the application
submitted by Spain.
(**) Totals do not tally due to
roundings.
25.         Spain confirms that the
measures described above are complementary with actions funded by the
Structural Funds and that all double financing will be prevented.
26.         The main objectives of the
2007-13 ESF operational programmes for the Comunidad de Castilla y León are
promoting workers' lifelong learning and decreasing the risk of early school
leaving, focusing in particular on the most vulnerable people or people at risk
of social exclusion, while the EGF measures will be focused on former woodworkers
without applying any restriction related to age, education, etc.
27.         Continuous follow-up of ESF
and EGF actions pursuing similar purposes and the workers concerned will
prevent any overlap between ESF and EGF measures.
Date(s) on which the personalised
services to the affected workers were started or are planned to start
28.         Spain started the personalised
services to the affected workers included in the co-ordinated package proposed
for co-financing to the EGF on 1 February 2014. 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
29.         The proposed application
was discussed at two meetings held on 25 and 28 November 2013. Former workers
of Puertas Norma —the main dismissing enterprise—, FAFECYL[13] and the social
partners referred to under point 17 participated in both meeting.
30.         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
31.         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 
32.         Spain has notified the
Commission that the financial contribution will be managed and controlled by
the same bodies that manage and control the ESF. ECYL, the public employment
service of the Comunidad de Castilla y León will be the intermediate body for
the managing authority.
Financing
33.         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 700 000, representing 50 % of the total
cost. The Commission's proposed allocation under the Fund is based on the
information made available by Spain.
34.         Considering the maximum
possible amount of a financial contribution from the EGF under Article 12 of
Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013, as well as the scope for
reallocating appropriations, the Commission proposes to mobilise the EGF for
the total amount referred to above.
35.         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 management[14].
36.         The Commission presents
separately a transfer request in order to enter in the 2014 budget specific
commitment appropriations, as required in Point 13 of the Interinstitutional
Agreement of 2 December 2013.
Source of payment appropriations 
37.         Appropriations allocated to
the EGF budget line in the 2014 budget will be used to cover the amount of EUR
700 000 needed for the present application.
