			Proposal for a DECISION OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL on 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/2010/015 FR/Peugeot from France) /* COM/2012/0461 final - 2012/ () */
			
				
		
		
			
			   	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 management[1] 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 Fund[2].
On 5 May 2010, France submitted application
EGF/2010/015 FR/Peugeot for a financial contribution from the EGF, following
redundancies at two branches of the group PSA Peugeot Citroën (Peugeot Citroën
Automobiles and Sevelnord) in France.
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.

1.           The application was
presented to the Commission on 5 May 2010 and supplemented by additional
information up to 13 April 2012.
2.           The application meets the
conditions for deploying the EGF as set out in Article 2(a) 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 between the redundancies and the financial and
economic crisis
3.           In order to establish the
link between the redundancies and the global financial and economic crisis,
France argues that the increasingly bleak growth prospects and the tougher
credit conditions the crisis has caused have given rise to fears among private
individuals concerning the safety of their jobs and have led them to postpone
purchasing a vehicle. At the same time, given the deterioration in the economic
situation, companies have on the whole also cut down on investments and,
consequently, on renewals of their fleet of vehicles. Thus, despite the
temporary measures introduced by some Member States (for example, scrapping
programmes), the European vehicle market – particularly in Western Europe,
which is the largest market for the group PSA Peugeot Citroën[4] – collapsed suddenly in
the second half of 2008, with a 10.7% decrease in registrations of light
passenger and commercial vehicles in Europe (18 Western European countries) in
the third quarter and a 17% decrease in the fourth quarter of 2008, in relation
to the same period over the previous year. The fall in the sales of vehicles
due to the global financial and economic crisis has directly affected the
economic results of the PSA Peugeot Citroën group, which registered a loss of
EUR 344 million over the year 2008, whereas it was still making
a profit (EUR 731 million) at the end of the first half of that year.
In order to overcome this economic crisis, the
PSA Peugeot Citroën group first dramatically reduced the use of temporary
labour and introduced temporary measures (e.g.: annualisation of working time,
part-time unemployment) in order to reduce production while keeping its
employees in a job. When it appeared that these arrangements would not be
enough to allow it to cope with the drop in vehicle sales, PSA Peugeot Citroën
chose to launch a call for voluntary redundancies.
4.           Furthermore, in response
to previous applications concerning the motor vehicle industry[5] [6], the Commission has already recognised
that the industry had been particularly hard hit by the financial crisis at the
root of the economic slowdown, since 60 to 80% (depending on the
Member State) of new vehicles sold in Europe are bought on credit[7]. In the second quarter of 2009,
there was a 39.5% decrease in the total number of vehicles manufactured in the
European Union, compared with the previous year. The crisis had a severe impact
on the major European car manufacturers and their suppliers[8].
Indication
of the number of redundancies and compliance with the criteria of Article 2(a)
5.           France submitted this
application under the intervention criterion of Article 2(a) of Regulation (EC)
No 1927/2006, which makes a contribution from the EGT subject to at least 500
redundancies over a four-month period in an enterprise in a Member State,
including workers made redundant by its suppliers and downstream producers.
6.           The application cites 649
redundancies in PSA Peugeot Citroën over the four-month reference period
between 1 November 2009 and 28 February 2010. The application also cites
1 440 other redundancies resulting from the same redundancy plan based on
voluntary departures, also in PSA Peugeot Citroën, but outside the reference
period. All of these redundancies were calculated in accordance with the first
indent of the second paragraph of Article 2 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006.
Explanation of the unforeseen nature
of those redundancies
7.           The French authorities
state that the international financial crisis has led to a sudden collapse in
prospects for vehicle production by PSA Peugeot Citroën. The group had thus
registered an acceleration in the growth of its sales in 2007 (1.7% in the
first half of the year and 6.2% in the second, compared with the same period in
the previous year). It therefore expected a comparable positive trend in 2008.
However, the unexpected global financial and economic crisis and its
repercussions completely extinguished group's prospects, with no time for it to
prepare for this.
Identification of the dismissing
businesses and workers targeted for assistance
8.           The application covers 649
redundancies in two branches of PSA Peugeot Citroën (Peugeot Citroën
Automobiles and Sevelnord).
 Name of the businesses || Number of redundancies during the reference period 
 Peugeot Citroën Automobiles || 630 
 Sevelnord || 19 
 Total || 649 
In accordance with Article 3(a)(b) of
Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, in addition to the workers made redundant during
the reference period, 1 440 workers made redundant by the same companies
before and after the period in question following the same redundancy plan
based on voluntary departures are targeted for assistance. The total number of
workers who can benefit from the coordinated package of personalised services
thus amounts to 2 089.
9.           The break-down of the
targeted workers is as follows:
 Category || Number || Percentage 
 Male || 1 623 || 77.69 
 Female || 466 || 22.31 
 EU citizens || 2 028 || 97.08 
 Nationals of third countries || 61 || 2.92 
 15-24 years || 13 || 0.62 
 25-54 years || 1 208 || 57.83 
 55-64 years || 868 || 41.55 
 > 64 years old || 0 || 0.00 
10.         Among the workers in
question, 108 (5.2%) suffer from a health problem or a long-term disability.
11.         In terms of professional
categories, the break-down is as follows:
 Category || Number || Percentage 
 Senior managers || 344 || 16.47 
 Employees, technicians and supervisors (ETAM) || 494 || 23.65 
 Workers || 1 251 || 59.89 
12.         In accordance with Article
7 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, France 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
13.         The redundancies targeted
by this application affect ten regions in France, most of which are situated in
the northern half of the territory. However, these voluntary departures affect
more specifically Brittany (32% of voluntary redundancies), Ile-de-France (25%)
and Franche-Comté (13%).
14.         The competent authority is
the Ministry of Labour, Employment and Health, and in particular the General
Delegation for Employment and Vocational Training. The other local stakeholders
are the Directors-General for Enterprises, Competition, Consumer Affairs,
Labour and Employment and their territorial units. PSA Peugeot Citroën itself
is also a major player and will coordinate the measures.
Expected impact of the redundancies
as regards local, regional or national employment
15.         PSA Peugeot Citroën's
voluntary redundancy plan mainly affects the following four French regions, by
order of importance:
–              
Brittany (1 473 redundancies): the Rennes site is located in an employment zone with an
unemployment rate which is lower than the national average (7% and 9.3%
respectively in 2011), but where PSA Peugeot Citroën is the main employer;
–              
Franche-Comté (803 redundancies): the Sochaux and Vesoul sites are located in an employment zone with
an unemployment rate (12.2% in 2011) which is significantly higher than the
national average. This territory, which has historically been a location for
industry in general and the vehicle industry in particular, has been severely
affected by the economic crisis;
–              
Île-de-France (515 targeted workers): the Île-de-France sites are located in an employment zone where the
unemployment level (8.4% in 2011) tends to be lower than that of metropolitan
France, but where employment in the industrial sector is dwindling faster than
in other French regions. For instance, between 1999 and 2008, industrial jobs
in Île-de-France fell by 2.5% per year on average, compared with 1.4% in the
rest of France[9];
–              
Alsace (428 redundancies): the Mulhouse site is located in an employment zone which is highly
affected by unemployment (11.5% in 2011). This territory is suffering from a
rapid decline in industrial employment (- 4.7% between 2003 and 2007). PSA
Peugeot Citroën is the main employer in the region;
–              
Lorraine (400 redundancies): the Metz and Tremery sites are located in an employment zone whose
unemployment level (10.5% in 2011) is higher than the national average. This
territory revolves essentially around the tertiary sector, but is affected by
the persistent decline in industrial employment (- 1.76% between 2003 and
2007). With its two sites, PSA Peugeot Citroën is the biggest private employer
in the region.
16.         PSA Peugeot Citroën's
voluntary redundancies plan has also affected, albeit to a lesser extent, the
regions of Nord/Pas-de-Calais (142 workers targeted), Picardy (50 workers
targeted), Lower Normandy (37 workers targeted), Auvergne (16 workers targeted)
and the Centre (3 workers targeted).
17.         With more than one thousand
workers, the subsidiary Peugeot Citroën Automobiles of the group PSA Peugeot
Citroën is required to contribute to the revitalisation of these regions,
pursuant to Article L1233-84 of the Labour Code. This means that the company
will contribute to the creation of new activities and new jobs, so as to
attenuate the effects of redundancies in these regions.
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
18.         The aim of the voluntary
redundancy plan launched by PSA Peugeot Citroën on 1 January 2009 was to
help the 5 100 workers covered by this plan. Until 31 March 2010, each of
these workers could choose one of the following options:
1)                
The professional or personal project: this project is intended for workers who already have plans for
redeployment (e.g. those who already have a prospective future sector of
professional activity or employer), but who need temporary support (from one to
three months) in order to achieve this objective. This support takes the form
in particular of advice, training or assistance to set up or take over a
company. One hundred and thirteen workers have opted for the professional or
personal project;
2)                
Le "congé de reclassement"
(redeployment leave): this measure is for workers
who do not yet have any precise plans for redeployment at the time of their
voluntary departure and who wish to benefit, over a period which can extend to
nine months, from retraining measures, advice, guidance or assistance to set up
or take over a business. One thousand one hundred and sixty-nine workers chose
the placement leave;
3)                
Setting up or taking over a business: this measure is for workers whose plans for redeployment involve
setting up or taking over a business, without them needing any support in the
process. Six hundred and seven workers have chosen to set up or take over a
business;
4)                
Voluntary retirement;
5)                
Assistance upon return to country of origin;
6)                
Support for internal mobility;
7)                
Support for extended leave.
The purpose of the application for an EGF
contribution is to help a total of 2 089 workers who have opted for the
first three measures described above, i.e. the professional or personal project
(113 workers), the redeployment leave (1 369 workers) and setting up or
taking over a business (607 workers).
As regards the redeployment leave, Article
L1233-71 of the Labour Code provides that a company which employs more than one
thousand people is required to propose the measures set out therein for a
minimum duration of four months and a maximum duration of nine months.
According to the above-mentioned legislation, the period between the fifth and
ninth month is therefore optional and may be subject to a contribution from the
EGF in accordance with Article 6(1) of the Regulation creating the Fund. PSA
Peugeot Citroën has decided to propose this measure for a maximum period of
nine months, depending on the post occupied by the worker, his/her seniority
and place of employment. The application does not provide for any contributions
for "congé de reclassement" for the first four months of the
programme, which correspond to the minimum duration stipulated by law, and also
excludes all the periods during which workers are still covered by their
redundancy notice period.
19.         The proposed measures are
set out below. Together, they constitute a coordinated package of personalised
services intended to allow the professional reintegration of the
2 089 workers concerned.
–     
Employment Mobility Units: These units, of which there are 24, give guidance on jobseeking and
training, offer access to actual training courses and provide advice on setting
up businesses (e.g. finding financing, drafting a development plan,
introduction to management, etc.). The units are made up of PSA Peugeot Citroën
employees, supported by external staff from consultancy practices. Their
activities are coordinated and run by a central unit. They offer their services
to all the employees for which EGF support is intended.
–     
Training for the "congé de
reclassement": Workers who have opted for
the congé de reclassement receive training which is tailored to their
needs, as identified by the Employment Mobility Unit (e.g. IT support, English
lessons, etc.). These training courses may be longer than the nine months of congé
de reclassement provided for if they are part of the training pathway
adopted with the redeployment unit.
–     
Training for the professional or personal
project: Workers who have opted for the
professional or personal project receive training tailored to their plans (e.g.
carpentry, ergonomic methodology, decorative painting, etc.).
–     
Training for setting up or taking over a
business: Workers who have chosen to set up or take
over a business receive training tailored to their plans (e.g. accounting
support, business management training, etc.).
–      Allowance provided under the congé de reclassement: this monthly allowance, paid until the end of the congé de
reclassement, amounts to 65% of the worker's last salary. This amount is
calculated based on the assumption of the workers' full-time participation in
active labour market measures; if participation is to a lesser extent, the EGF
will pay workers an allowance which is proportionate to their actual
participation.
–     
Support for setting up a business: this measure is offered to both workers who opt for the
professional or personal project and those who choose the congé de
reclassement. Depending on the needs of the workers concerned, it
comprises:
–                   
a EUR 6 000 premium paid in two
instalments (the first half upon presentation of proof of setting up or taking
over a business; the balance upon presentation of evidence that the company is
still engaged in real activity six months after its registration);
–                   
a local employment allowance of
EUR 2 000, paid if the business creation or takeover takes place in
the job catchment area of the initial place of assignment of the employee who
has left PSA Peugeot Citroën;
–                   
a job support allowance of
EUR 1 000 per full-time job created, for a maximum of two jobs
created;
–                   
a zero-rate reimbursable loan of EUR 15 000.
The cost of this measure alone is estimated to be EUR 2 900. It
corresponds to the application fees and interest for the loan as passed on to
the company by the credit establishment concerned.
20.         The expenditure for
implementing the EGF, which is included in the application in accordance with
Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, covers preparatory, management, information
and publicity and control measures.
The information activities proposed by France
comprise the publication of a number of articles on the application for an EGF
contribution in the media of the PSA Peugeot Citroën group and on the human
resources intranet, as well as the provision of posters to advertise the Fund
in the group's establishments. Furthermore, posters and leaflets produced by
the Commission concerning the EGF support have been disseminated to the local
information points and within the Employment Mobility Units. France's proposal
also provides for an external communication following approval of the
application by the Commission.
Furthermore, the French authorities have
explained that only modest amounts were provided for the management control
measures because they had not counted the activities which they were in any
case obliged to perform in the general running of the State.
21.         The personalised services
presented by the French authorities are active labour market measures coming under
the eligible actions defined by Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No
1927/2006. The French authorities evaluate the total cost of these services at
EUR 18 352 056 and the expenditure for implementing the EGF at
EUR 32 047 (0.17% of the total amount). The total contribution
requested from the EGF is EUR 11 949 666 (65% of the total
costs).

22.         France confirms the
complementarity of the measures described above with the actions financed by
the Structural Funds and guarantees the absence of double financing, since they
are not eligible for any other aid from either the European Union or the French
State. An agreement between the French State and PSA Peugeot Citroën confirms
the obligation to guarantee the absence of double financing.
Date
on which the personalised services to the affected workers were started or are
planned to start
23.         France started to provide
the workers concerned with the personalised services included in the
coordinated package proposed for cofinancing by the EGF on 1 January 2009,
the date on which these workers started to benefit from all the measures set
out in the voluntary redundancy plan. This date therefore represents the
beginning of the period of eligibility for any assistance which might be
awarded under the EGF.
Procedures for consulting the social
partners
24.         On 2 December 2008, the
Central Works Council held an extraordinary meeting in order to discuss the
planned call for voluntary departures envisaged by PSA Peugeot Citroën. The
Central Works Council then met on several occasions in the course of 2009, in
particular in order to assess the implementation of this call and its outcome.
The application for a contribution from the EGF was announced at an
extraordinary meeting of the Central Works Council on 20 April 2010.
Furthermore, the trade unions have been kept regularly informed about the
measures taken. 
25.         The French 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
26.         As regards the criteria
contained in Article 6 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, the French 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 
27.         France informed the
Commission that the financial contribution would be managed by the Mission
du Fonds national de l’emploi (FNE, National Employment Fund) within the Délégation
générale à l’emploi et à la formation professionnelle (DGEFP, General
Delegation for Employment and Vocational Training) of the Ministry of Labour,
Employment and Health. The payments will be managed by the Mission du
Financement, du Budget et du Dialogue de Gestion (MFBDG, Mission for
Financing, Budget and Management Dialogue) within the Department for Financing,
Dialogue and Management Control of the same Ministry. Audits and controls will
be carried out by the Mission Organisation des Contrôles (MOC, Mission
for the Organisation of Controls) within the Sous-Direction Politiques de
Formation et du Contrôle (Subdirectorate for Training and Monitoring
Policies) of the same Ministry. Certification will be provided by the Pôle
de Certification (Certification Centre) of the Directorate-General for
Finances.
Funding
28.         On the basis of the
application from France, the proposed contribution from the EGF to the
coordinated package of personalised services (including expenditure to
implement the EGF) is EUR 11 949 666, representing 65% of the
total cost. The Commission's proposed allocation under the Fund is based on the
information made available by France.
29.         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.
30.         The proposed 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.
31.         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 on the amount required. The Commission
invites the first of the two arms of the budgetary authority to reach an
agreement on the draft mobilisation proposal, at appropriate political level,
to inform the other arm and the Commission of its intentions. In the event of
disagreement by either of the two arms of the budgetary authority, a formal
trialogue meeting will be convened.
32.         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.
Source of payment appropriations 
33.         Appropriations from the EGF
budget line will be used to cover the amount of EUR 11 949 666
needed for the present application.

Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament,
the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial
management (application EGF/2010/015 FR/Peugeot from France)
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

1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006
establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund[12], and in particular Article
12(3) thereof,
Having regard to the proposal from the
European Commission[13],
Whereas:
(1)       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.
(2)       The scope of the EGF was
broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to 30 December 2011 to
include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global
financial and economic crisis.

Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual
ceiling of EUR 500 million.
(4)       France submitted an
application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the PSA Peugeot
Citroën group in France on 5 May 2010 and supplemented it by additional
information, the last of which was supplied on 13 April 2012. This application
complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions set
out in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission therefore
proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 11 949 666.
(5)       The EGF should therefore
be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application
submitted by France,
HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
