               Intervention criteria
            
            
               6.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.
            
            
               7.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.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.
            
            
               12.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 crisis. In 2014, the activity of road freight transport remained more than 10 % lower compared with the pre-crisis activity. 
            
            
               13.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.
            
            
               14.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. 
            
            
               15.To date, the Land transport and transport via pipelines sector has been the subject of three EGF applications: this one, EGF/2014/017 FR/ Mory-Ducros
                  6
                and EGF/2011/001 AT/ Nieder- und Oberoesterreich
                  7
               , all of them based on the global financial and economic crisis.
            
            
               Events giving rise to the redundancies and cessation of activity
            
            
               16.The events giving rise to these redundancies are the bankruptcy and closure of the company. 
            
            
               17.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
               .
            
            
               18.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.
            
            
               19.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.
            
            
               20.This is a follow-up application, in support of the Mory-Ducros workers
                  9
                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)

               Eligibility of the proposed actions
            
            
               23.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.).
            
            
               24.The DAR comes on top of the social plan and the Contrat de Sécurisation Professionnelle (CSP). The social plan funded by Mory-Global and AGS
                  11
               , 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. 
            
            
               25.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.
            
            
               26.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.
            
            
               27.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.
            
            
               28.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.
            
            
               29.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.
            
            
               30.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.
            
            
               Estimated budget
            
            
               31.The estimated total costs are EUR 8 578 000, comprising expenditure for personalised services of EUR 8 528 000 and expenditure for preparatory, management, information and publicity, control and reporting activities of EUR 50 000.
            
            
               32.The total financial contribution requested from the EGF is EUR 5 146 800 (60 % of total costs).

               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) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006
                  14
               , and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,
            
            
               Having regard to 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

               Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,
            
            
               Whereas:
            
            
               (1)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.
            
            
               (2)The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013
                  16
               .
            
            
               (3)On 19 November 2015, France submitted an application EGF/2015/010 FR/MoryGlobal for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in MoryGlobal SAS in France. It was supplemented by additional information provided in accordance with Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. That application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.
            
            
               (4)The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 5 146 800 in respect of the application submitted by France.
            
            
               (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:
