– medlemsstaten indsender en ansøgning til Kommissionen om støtte fra EGF inden ti uger efter den dag, betingelserne for støttebevilling er opfyldt, idet ansøgningen efterfølgende kan suppleres
– a Member State submits an application for an EGF contribution to the Commission within a period of 10 weeks from the date on which the EGF intervention conditions are met; the application may be supplemented subsequently by the Member State;
– Kommissionen behandler ansøgningen i samråd med medlemsstaten, hvorefter budgetproceduren i givet fald sættes i gang ved et forslag til afgørelse om anvendelse af EGF med fastsættelse af beløbet for tilskuddet samt en anmodning om overførelse af beløbet for dette bidrag
– the application is scrutinised by the Commission, in consultation with the Member State, following which, if necessary, the budgetary procedure is initiated by means of a proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF, stipulating the size of the financial contribution to be made, and a request for the transfer of the relevant amount is drawn up;
– budgetmyndighedens to parter behandler forslaget til afgørelse om anvendelse af fonden og anmodningen om overførsel, hvorefter disse i givet fald vedtages med eller uden ændringer;
– the proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF and the request for transfer is considered by the two arms of the budgetary authority; where appropriate, they are adopted with or without amendments;
– udbetaling, normalt inden for 15 dage efter budgetmyndighedens vedtagelse af afgørelsen om anvendelse af fonden, af det finansielle bidrag til den pågældende medlemsstat på en gang.
– following the budgetary authority's adoption of the decision to mobilise the EGF, the financial contribution granted to the Member State is paid in a single instalment, in principle within 15 days.
Er en afgørelse fra budgetmyndigheden fra tilfælde til tilfælde under alle omstændigheder nødvendig?
Is it always essential for the budgetary authority to take mobilisation decisions on a case-by-case basis?
Er de fastsatte frister nødvendige og/eller overholdes de?
Are the deadlines necessary and/or met?
Hvordan bliver Kommissionens behandling af ansøgninger mere gennemskuelig for medlemsstaterne?
How could the scrutiny of applications by the Commission be made more predictable for Member States?
Proceduren for gennemførelse af EGF kan opdeles i 3 faser :
There are three stages in the EGF implementation procedure :
– medlemsstatens udnyttelse af det finansielle bidrag i de 24 måneder, der følger efter datoen for ansøgningen eller datoen for de støttede foranstaltningers påbegyndelse, forudsat at disse er blevet påbegyndt inden for 3 måneder efter datoen for ansøgningen (inden for 12 måneder efter datoen for ansøgningen indtil 2009)
– the Member State must use the financial contribution within 24 months of the date on which the application was made or the date on which the measures covered began, provided that the latter date is no later than three months after the date on which the application was made (within 12 months of that date prior to 2009);
– senest seks måneder efter udløbet af fristen for udnyttelse forelægger medlemsstaten en rapport om anvendelsen af den økonomiske støtte
– the Member State must submit a report on the implementation of the financial contribution no later than six months after the expiry of the designated utilisation period;
– senest seks måneder efter, at Kommissionen har modtaget rapporten om gennemførelse, afvikler den den finansielle støtte.
– the Commission winds up the financial contribution no later than six months after the implementation report has been received.
Er fordoblingen af fristen for medlemsstatens udnyttelse af den finansielle støtte tilstrækkelig?
Is the doubling of the period during which the financial contribution may be used by the Member State sufficient?
Er proceduren for Kommissionens kontrol med udnyttelsen af den finansielle støtte optimal?
Is the procedure for verification by the Commission of the use made of the financial contribution as effective as it could be?
ANVENDELSEN AF EGF I PERIODEN FRA 2007 TIL APRIL 2010
MOBILISATION OF THE EGF BETWEEN 2007 AND APRIL 2010
· Analyse af afgørelserne om ansøgning om anvendelse af EGF
· Analysis of EGF mobilisation decisions and applications
Ansøgningerne og den tildelte støtte er koncentreret omkring et begrænset antal medlemsstater uden forbindelse til velfærdsforskelle eller arbejdsløshed :
The number of applications submitted and the size of the contributions requested are not linked to the relative wealth of or unemployment rate in the Member States that have applied for funding, of which there has been only a limited number .
I perioden fra 2007 til april 2010 er der blevet vedtaget 27 afgørelser om anvendelse af EGF, og 58 ansøgninger er blevet indgivet og fastholdt.
Between 2007 and April 2010, 27 EGF mobilisation decisions were adopted, and 58 applications were submitted.
Disse afgørelser og ansøgninger vedrører henholdsvis 13 og 17 medlemsstater.
The decisions covered 13 Member States, and the applications 17 Member States.
10 medlemsstater har dermed endnu ikke ønsket at anvende denne fond.
This means that 10 Member States have not yet wished or been able to make use of the EGF.
De 5 medlemsstater, der har indgivet ansøgning om de højeste støttebeløb (Frankrig, Italien, Spanien, Irland, Tyskland) har ansøgt om ca. 70 % af den samlede søgte støtte, mens de 5 medlemsstater, der har indgivet ansøgning om det laveste støttebeløb (Den Tjekkiske Republik, Polen, Malta, Finland, Litauen) har ansøgt om ca. 2 %.
The five Member States that requested the highest contributions (France, Italy, Spain, Ireland and Germany) accounted for around 70% of the total appropriations requested, while the five Member States that requested the lowest contributions (Czech Republic, Poland, Malta, Finland and Lithuania) accounted for some 2%.
Afgørelserne om anvendelse af EGF har vedrørt regioner på NUTS 2-niveau, hvis gennemsnitlige BNI pr. indbygger udgør 109,3 % af gennemsnittet for EU og hvis gennemsnitlige arbejdsløshed udgør 5.9 %
The EGF mobilisation decisions covered NUTS II regions with an average per capita GNI of 109.3% of the EU average and an average unemployment rate of no more than 5.9%
Kilde: Eurostat, oplysninger for 2007 for BNI pr. indbygger, og 2008 for arbejdsløsheden. .
Source: Eurostat – 2007 per capita GNI figures and 2008 unemployment figures. .
Hvorfor gavner EGF først og fremmest regioner, hvis BNI pr. indbygger er højere end gennemsnittet for EU, og hvis arbejdsløshed er lav, og hvorledes kan dette forhold afhjælpes?
Why does the bulk of EGF contributions go to regions with a per capita GNI that is higher than the EU average and with a relatively low unemployment rate, and how can this situation be remedied?
Antallet af ansøgninger og den søgte støtte er genstand for en voksende anvendelse, som dog er begrænset i forhold til de disponible bevillinger :
Although increased use is being made of the EGF, the overall amounts involved account for only a limited proportion of the appropriations available .
Kun 16 afgørelser er blevet vedtaget inden revisionen i juni 2009 til fordel for 8 medlemsstater og til et beløb af 80 mio. EUR.
Only 16 decisions were adopted prior to the June 2009 revision; these concerned eight Member States, and the overall amount mobilised was EUR 80 million.
En sammenligning mellem de forskellige regnskabsår afslører imidlertid en stigning i udnyttelsesgraden, der navnlig skyldes en lempelse af vilkårene for anvendelse af EGF i 2009 og den økonomiske og finansielle krise.
However, a comparison of the figures for the financial years to date shows that increased use is being made of the EGF, owing in particular to the relaxation of the eligibility requirements in 2009 and to the economic and financial crisis.
Udnyttelsesgraden steg fra 3,7 % i 2007 (18,6 mio. EUR) til 9,8 % i 2008 (49 mio. EUR) og 10,5 % i 2009 (52 mio. EUR).
The rate of utilisation of appropriations rose from 3.7% in 2007 (EUR 18.6 million) to 9.8% in 2008 (EUR 49 million) and 10.5% in 2009 (EUR 52 million).
Denne tendens synes at fortsætte i 2010.
This trend would appear to have continued into 2010.
Mellem juni 2009 og april 2010 blev der godkendt, behandlet eller indgivet 42 ansøgninger vedrørende 36 712 nye arbejdstagere og 9 supplerende medlemsstater til et samlet beløb af 197 mio. EUR.
Between June 2009 and April 2010, 42 applications were approved, scrutinised or submitted; these covered 36 712 more workers and nine more Member States, and the overall amount involved was EUR 197 million.
Er den voldsomme stigning i antallet af ansøgninger og den søgte støtte udtryk for en permanent tendens, og hvad skyldes det i bekræftende fald, og hvordan kan man reagere effektivt herpå?
Is this substantial increase in the number of applications and the size of the contributions requested likely to continue, and if so, what are its causes and what is the appropriate response?
Den søgte støtte pr. arbejdstager varierer voldsomt fra medlemsstat til medlemsstat :
The size of the contributions requested varies sharply from Member State to Member State .
De vedtagne afgørelser vedrører 29 292 afskedigede arbejdstagere, mens de indgivne ansøgninger vedrørte 54 867 arbejdstagere, der skulle støttes.
The decisions adopted cover 29 292 workers made redundant and the applications submitted cover 54 867 workers requiring support.
Den søgte støtte udgjorde i gennemsnit 5 253 EUR pr. arbejdstager.
The average contribution requested stands at EUR 5 253 per worker.
Der er et forhold på ca. 1 til 40 mellem den laveste støtte pr. arbejdstager (511 EUR)
There is a ratio of around 1 to 40 between the lowest contribution requested per worker (EUR 511)
EGF/2010/010, Unilever (Den Tjekkiske Republik). og den højeste (22 031m EUR)
EGF/2010/010, Unilever (Czech Republic). and the highest (EUR 22 031)
Er de aktuelle forskelle mellem medlemsstaterne i henseende til finansiel indsats berettiget, og hvordan kan det i bekræftende fald ændres?
Are the differences between the Member States in terms of the funding provided per worker fully justified, and if not, what should be done about it?
Ansøgningerne om anvendelse af EGF falder ind under samtlige interventionskriterier, men i et meget uensartet forhold :
The applications for EGF support are based on all three intervention criteria, although the breakdown between them is uneven .
Medlemsstaterne henviser til interventionskriteriet i artikel 2, litra b), i EGF-forordningen i 57 % af tilfældene, til kriterierne i artikel 2, litra a), i 36,5 % af tilfældene og til kriterierne i artikel 2, litra c) i 5,8 % af tilfældene.
The Member States base their applications on the intervention criterion laid down in Article 2(b) of the EGF Regulation in 57.7% of cases, on the Article 2(a) criterion in 36.5% of cases and on the Article 2(c) criterion in 5.8% of cases.
Kun en medlemsstat (Litauen) har påberåbt sig alle 3 interventionskriterier i mindst en ansøgning.
Only one only Member State (Lithuania) has used all three different criteria in its applications.
Siden juni 2009 henvises der oftere til interventionskriteriet i artikel 2, litra b), end i den foregående periode (i størrelsesordenen 60 % af de undersøgte ansøgninger mod 50 %).
Since June 2009, the Article 2(b) criterion has been cited more often than during the previous period (60% of applications as against 50% previously).
Hvorledes kan forskellene mellem medlemsstaterne, hvad angår interventionskriterierne, forklares?
What are the reasons for the differences between Member States in terms of the criteria cited?
EGF-støtten vedrører kun ganske få erhvervssektorer, selv om de er meget diversificeret :
To date, EGF contributions have been granted in respect of only a small number of economic sectors, although that number is now growing .
Mens 16 afgørelser under den oprindelige forordning kun vedrørte tekstilsektoren (50 %), automobilindustrien (31 %) og mobiltelefoni (19 %), omfatter ansøgningerne i henhold til den nye forordning nye sektorer som f.eks. mekanisk virksomhed, elektronik, trykkerivirksomhed og byggeri.
While the 16 decisions adopted under the original regulation were confined to textiles (50%) motor vehicles (31%) and mobile telephony (19%), applications submitted under the amended regulation have covered new sectors such as the mechanical, electronics, printing and construction sectors.
Skyldes de konstaterede forskelle altid overvejelser i tilknytning til globaliseringen eller krisen?
Are all of the sector-specific applications warranted on the basis of factors relating to globalisation or the economic and financial crisis?
· Analyse af proceduren for anvendelse og gennemførelse af EGF
· Analysis of the EGF mobilisation and implementation procedure
Selv om EGF hidtil ikke har rådet over egne betalingsbevillinger, kunne der ske en udvikling i situationen fra 2011 :
Although, to date, the EGF has not been allocated its own payment appropriations, that situation could change in 2011 .
De samlede betalingsbevillinger til dækning af forpligtelserne er blevet taget fra budgetposter, hvor der forventedes en underudnyttelse.
All of the payment appropriations used to meet commitments have been drawn from budget lines likely to be under-utilised.
Op til 97,6 % af behovene er blevet dækket over budgetposter vedrørende ESF, idet de resterende bevillinger er blevet taget fra budgetposten vedrørende retspleje i strafferetlige og civilretlige anliggender.
97.6% of requirements have been met using appropriations from ESF budge lines, with the remaining appropriations being drawn from the budget chapter 'Justice in criminal and civil matters'.
Muligheden for at opføre betalingsbevillinger i reserven i tilknytning til forpligtelsesbevillinger er ganske vist endnu ikke blevet udnyttet, men i henhold til budgetforslaget for 2011 skal EGF-budgetposten på 50 mio. EUR i betalingsbevillinger for første gang opgives.
Although the option of entering payment appropriations in the reserve alongside the corresponding commitment appropriations has not yet been taken up, the draft budget for 2011 provides for the first time for the entry of EUR 50 million in payment appropriations against the EGF budget line.
Hvilke konsekvenser ville opførelsen af betalingsbevillinger på EGF-budgetposten have i henseende til anvendelsesfristen?
What impact will the entry of payment appropriations against the EGF budget line have on mobilisation times?
Proceduren for anvendelse af EGF er alt for langvarig, hvilket skader effektiviteten og nytteværdien for medlemsstaterne :
The EGF mobilisation procedure is excessively long, which makes the scheme less effective and less attractive to Member States .
Den tid, der medgår fra indgivelsen af en ansøgning om støtte fra EGF til udbetalingen af den tildelte økonomiske støtte, overstiger i gennemsnit 9 måneder.
On average, following the submission of an application for a financial contribution under the EGF, it takes more than nine months for the contribution to be paid.
Tiden fordeles som følger:
That time period may be broken down as follows:
– 6 måneder fra medlemsstatens indgivelse af ansøgningen til Kommissionens vedtagelse af forslaget til afgørelse om anvendelse af EGF
– six months between the submission of the application by the Member State and the adoption by the Commission of the proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF;
– 2 måneder fra Kommissionens vedtagelse af forslaget til afgørelse om anvendelse af EGF til budgetmyndighedens vedtagelse
– two months between the adoption by the Commission of the proposal for a decision to mobilise the EGF and its adoption by the budgetary authority;
– 1 måned og 1 uge fra budgetmyndighedens vedtagelse af afgørelsen om anvendelse af EGF til Kommissionens udbetaling af den økonomiske støtte
– one month and one week between the adoption by the budgetary authority of the decision to mobilise the EGF and the payment of the financial contribution by the Commission
Den samlede frist og fristen for udbetaling af den tildelte støtte vedrører udelukkende den 15 første afgørelser om anvendelse af EGF, da der ikke foreligger oplysninger om senere afgørelser.
The figures given for the overall time period and the time taken to pay the contribution granted are based on the first 15 EGF mobilisation decisions, since no information on later decisions is available.
De to øvrige frister er beregnet på grundlag af samtlige vedtagne afgørelser. .
The two other time periods were calculated on the basis of all the decisions adopted. .
EGF bliver mindre interessant for medlemsstaterne, da disse forfinansierer de aktive arbejdsmarkedsforanstaltninger uden at kende resultatet af proceduren.
This makes the EGF less attractive to Member States, because they are obliged to pre-finance active labour market measures before the outcome of the procedure is known.
Det forklarer til dels den konstaterede forskel mellem antallet af arbejdstagere for hvem der anmodes om EGF-støtte og antallet af støttede arbejdstagere, idet de afskedigede arbejdstagere kan beslutte at trække sig tilbage fra arbejdsmarkedet eller finde beskæftigelse i løbet af denne periode.
This goes some way towards explaining the disparity between the number of workers for whom an EGF contribution is requested and the number of workers that actually receive support, given that some of the workers made redundant may decide to leave the labour market altogether or may find a new job during that period.
I yderste konsekvens kan disse forskelle tvinge medlemsstaterne til at tilbagebetale hele den tildelte støtte, såfremt kriteriet for antallet af arbejdstagere ikke længere er opfyldt.
Such disparities can even result in Member States being required to reimburse all of the contribution they have been granted, because the criterion relating to the number of workers is no longer met by the time the procedure has been completed.
Hvorledes kan proceduren for anvendelse af EGF afkortes, så den bliver mere attraktiv for medlemsstaterne?
How can the EGF mobilisation procedure be shortened in order to make the fund more attractive to Member States?
UDTALELSE fra Udvalget om Beskæftigelse og Sociale Anliggender (*)
OPINION of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs (*)
om finansiering og forvaltning af Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til Globaliseringen
on the funding and functioning of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund
(*) Procedure med associerede udvalg – forretningsordenens artikel 50
(*) Procedure with associated committees: Article 50 Rules of Procedure
A. der henviser til, at Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til Globaliseringen (Globaliseringsfonden) ikke pålægger en medlemsstat aktive arbejdsmarkedsforanstaltninger, der skal gennemføres inden for rammerne af en ansøgning om støtte fra fonden, men kræver, at der indføres en samordnet pakke af individualiserede tjenesteydelser, som tager sigte på at reintegrere arbejdstagere på arbejdsmarkedet i overensstemmelse med artikel 3 i forordningen om Globaliseringsfonden
A. whereas the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) does not impose any active labour market measures on a Member State that have to be implemented in the framework of an application for the fund but requires the putting in place of a coordinated package of personalised services designed to reintegrate workers into the labour market in accordance with Article 3 of the EGF regulation
Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 1927/2006 af 20. december 2006 om oprettelse af Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til Globaliseringen, ændret ved Europa-Parlamentets og Rådets forordning (EF) nr. 546/2009 af 18. juni 2009. , der fuldt ud bevarer medlemsstaternes fleksibilitet til at tilpasse de foranstaltninger, der tager sigte på ledige arbejdstagere, til de lokale og individuelle behov, som er forbundet med den enkelte ansøgning,
Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2009 on establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund as amended by regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 18 June 2009. which preserves fully the flexibility of the Member States to adapt the measures targeting the redundant workers to the local and individual needs of each application,
2. anmoder om, at Globaliseringsfonden opretholdes i fremtiden, og at dens reviderede udgave fra 2009 samordnes klart med revisionen af ESF ud over den kommende finansielle ramme på mellemlang sigt, så den kan anvendes til at afhjælpe krisesituationer;

Reminds undertakings of their social responsibility to do all they can to ensure that, before the start of their period of unemployment, workers can authenticate their experience and training acquired, so as to ensure that their retraining is as specific and as rapid as possible and that they obtain new, ‘good’ stable jobs with a promising future in a sector which will remain viable;
25. opfordrer Kommissionen til at sikre konsekvens i sine politikker og instrumenter for at undgå, at målene om vækst og konkurrenceevne står i modsætning til målene om beskæftigelse, samhørighed og social integration;
Calls on the Commission to ensure that its policies and instruments are coherent, in order to preclude the possibility that the growth and competitiveness objectives might conflict with objectives of employment, cohesion and social inclusion;
28. opfordrer Kommissionen til omgående at forelægge en rapport om den hidtidige anvendelse af Globaliseringsfonden, hvoraf især fremgår, hvilke midler der i de enkelte tilfælde fandt anvendelse, og hvorledes forholdet var mellem de afsatte midler og yderligere nationale og operationelle støtteforanstaltninger; opfordrer Kommissionen til at drage de første konklusioner af denne rapport og hurtigt forelægge forslag til en forbedring af fonden.
Requests the Commission to submit forthwith a report on the use made to date of the Globalisation Adjustment Fund, setting out in particular a detailed account of how the appropriations were used and what proportion of overall funding they accounted for by comparison with other national and company-specific support measures; calls on the Commission to draw initial conclusions from that report and rapidly submit proposals for the improvement of the fund.
