Kommissionens svar bemærkninger 16. Kommissionen erkender, at der måske er nogle afskedigede arbejdstagere, som var støtteberettiget, der ikke er taget med i EGF-ansøgningerne. 
Reply of the CoMMISSIoN obServationS 16. the commission acknowledges that some redundant workers who were eligible may not have been included in EGf applications.
Kommissionen har dog ikke hørt om, at der er berørte arbejdstagere, som bevidst ikke er blevet taget med. For det andet tager det tid og kræver en indsats at identificere alle de berørte virksomheder og personer. 
However, the commission has not been informed that any affected workers were ever intentionally excluded. secondly, identifying all enterprises and persons concerned takes time and effort.
Medlemsstaten kan derfor på et givet tidspunkt have besluttet at gå videre med sagen, idet man har vurderet, at de omkostninger (både økonomisk og tids-mæssigt), der er forbundet med at finde frem til eventuelle yderligere potentielt støtteberettigede arbejdstagere, ikke har stået i forhold til de sandsynlige fordele. Endvidere er det muligt, at de berørte arbejdstagere, selv om de ikke er taget med, har fået en anden form for støtte. 
Hence, at some stage the Member state may have decided to move ahead with the file, considering the cost (in terms of both finance and time) associated with finding any additional potentially eligible workers to be disproportionate to likely benefits. furthermore, even when not included, affected workers might have received other forms of assistance.
På baggrund af de fremsendte slutrapporter om EGF-sager i Irland finder Kommissionen, at medlemsstaten har bestræbt sig på at skabe en forbindelse mellem individuelle tjenester og arbejdsmarkedets reelle behov. 
Based on the submitted final reports of EGf cases in ireland, the commission considers that an effort has been made by the Member state to establish the link between personalised services and actual labour market needs.
23. a) Rettens bemærkning vedrører kun medlemsstater med højere medfinansieringssatser såsom dem, Retten anfører, og kan ikke udledes som en generel regel. 
23. (a) the observation of the court only applies to those Member states with higher co-financing rates such as the ones listed by the court and cannot be deduced as a general rule.
24. Kommissionen forstår, at det er af politiske årsager og ikke af årsager, der vedrører EGF i sig selv, at Det Forenede Kongerige aldrig har ansøgt om EGF-støtte. 
24. the commission understands that the united Kingdom never applied for EGf funding because of political reasons rather than due to reasons connected with the EGf itself.
33 27. Sammenligninger med internationale datakilder, og navnlig data fra Eurostat, tyder på, at reintegrationsgraden er tilfredsstillende til trods for den særdeles vanskelige situation. Tabel 2 viser, at gennemsnitlig 34 % af alle de involverede i de sager, der er undersøgt af Revisionsretten, allerede var kommet ind på arbejdsmarkedet igen, når EGF-støtten holdt op, næsten 46 % kom det mellem tre og 12 måneder, efter at EGF-støtten holdt op, og over 51 % var kommet det, 12 måneder efter at EGF-støtten holdt op. 
33 27. comparisons with international data sources, and in particular with Eurostat data, suggest that integration rates are satisfactory despite the very difficult context. table 2 shows that, on average, 34 % of all participants in the cases audited by the court had already been reintegrated by the end of the EGf assistance, almost 46 % between 3 and 12 months after the end of the EGf assistance and over 51 % of persons reintegrated 12 months after the end of the EGf assistance. the main conclusions of the mid-term evaluation report on the EGf between 2007 and april 2009 indicated an average re-employment rate of 42 % among affected workers immediately after the end of the EGf implementation period across the 15 EGf cases evaluated. this can be considered as a very good result.
Kommissionens svar 32. Indkomststøtte har aldrig været på tale som en isoleret foranstaltning. I overensstemmelse med EGF-forordningen har denne form for støtte altid været en del af en pakke kombineret med aktive arbejdsmarkedspolitiske foranstaltninger, hvormed man opnår de positive virkninger, som er blevet bekræftet i midtvejsevalueringen og de mange slutrapporter om EGF-sager. 
Reply of the CoMMISSIoN 32. income support was never provided as a stand-alone measure. in line with the EGf regulation, it was always part of a package combined with active labour market policy measures which achieve the positive effects confirmed by the mid-term evaluation and many final reports of EGf cases.
1927/2006 (»Støtteberettigede foranstaltninger«), da de udformede den pågældende pakke af individuelle EGF-foranstaltninger. I gennemførelsesesperioden gennemføres denne pakke af foranstaltninger med EGF-støtte. Blandt disse foranslantinger er: generel hjælp til jobsøg-ning, videreuddannelse, jobsøgningsunderstøttelse, videreuddannelsesstøtte, iværksætterstøtte, støtte vedrørende geografisk mobilitet og beskæftigelse, osv. 
Member states acted in accordance with article 3 of regulation (Ec) no 1927/2006 (‘Eligible actions’) when designing the relevant package of personalised EGf measures. during the implementation period, this package of measures is carried out with EGf assistance. these include general job search assistance, training, job search allowances, training allowances, support for entrepreneurship, geographical mobility and employment subsidies.
Formålet med ESF-kontroldataene er ikke at identificere titusindvis af (potentielle) ESF-projekter, der støttes via de nuværende 117 operationelle ESF-programmer (2007-2013). Det er i stedet formålet med denne kontrol at indsamle statistiske oplysninger om gennemførelsen af programmer ved hjælp af finansielle data (opdelt efter prioritet, jf. definitionen i ESF-forordningen) og data om det antal personer, der modtager støtte (bl.a. opdelt efter køn, uddannelsesniveau, osv.). Hvad angår kvaliteten af ESF-kontroldata, bemærker Kommissionen følgende: a) Indikatorernes kvalitet forbedres løbende. b) Kommissionen træffer forholdsregler med hensyn til kontrol af udvalgsmøder, når den skønner, at resultatindikatorerne ikke er gode nok. c) Kommissionen kontrollerer på grundlag af alle de modtagne oplysninger og via en efterfølgende evaluering, om målene bliver opfyldt ved hjælp af tiltagene. 
34. the purpose of Esf monitoring data is not to identify tens of thousands of (potential) Esf projects supported through the current 117 Esf operational programmes (2007–13). instead, the remit of this monitoring is to collect statistics on the implementation of programmes through financial data (broken down by priorities as defined in the Esf regulation) and data on the number of persons supported (including breakdowns by gender, educational attainment, etc.). as regards the quality of Esf monitoring data, the commission notes that: (a) the quality of indicators is constantly improving; (b) the commission takes action in monitoring committee meetings when it considers the result indicators are insufficient; (c) the commission checks how actions meet their targets on the basis of all information received and through ex post evaluation. for the period 2014–20, the commission has proposed mandatory output and result indicators.
36. EGF-finansieringen skal give medlemsstaterne mulighed for at træffe helt konkrete foranstaltninger, efter at de har brugt det beløb, der af afsat til samfinansiering; finansieringen afgør ikke gennemførelseshastigheden og bør heller ikke påvirke den hastighed, hvormed aktiviteter igangsættes. 
36. the EGf financing is to allow Member states to take actions on the ground after they have spent the amount set aside for co-financing; it does not determine their speed of implementation, nor should it influence the speed with which these actions are initiated.
7/2013 – Har Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til globaliseringen tilført EU-merværdi med hensyn til reintegration af afskedigede arbejdstagere? 34 Det er medlemsstaternes ansvar at sikre, at den rette støtte hurtigst muligt når frem til de arbejdsløse arbejdstagere. 
Special report No 7/2013 – Has the European Globalisation adjustment fund delivered Eu added value in reintegrating redundant workers? 34 it is the Member states’ responsibility to ensure that the right assistance reaches their unemployed workers as soon as possible.
En sen gennemførelse af finansieringsafgørelser for tiltag, som bør være (forhånds-)finansieret på nationalt plan, bør ikke betragtes som nogen hindring for at øge gennemførelseshastigheden. 
Late adoption of financing decisions for actions that should be (pre-) financed nationally should not be seen as an obstacle to enhancing the speed of implementation.
38. EGF og ESF er indbyrdes supplerende fonde, hvormed der ydes enten langsigtet strategisk hjælp, eller som fungerer som en tidsbegrænset og specifik engangsreaktion på en enkeltstående »nødsituation« i forbindelse med en omstrukturering. 
38. the EGf and Esf are complementary funds which provide either long-term strategic help or act as a one-off time-limited and specific response to a single restructuring ‘emergency’. if the EGf funds come in, for specific reasons valid in this case, later than other support funds, the EGf objective is nevertheless met. it must be noted that it is up to each Member state to manage the complementarity between the Esf and EGf in the best possible manner given the local conditions prevailing at the time.
43. Helt overordnet skal det bemærkes, at Kommissionen på dette tidspunkt ikke kan være klar over den eventuelle virkning, som forskelle vedrørende den generelt berørte befolkning og arbejdstagerenes beskæftigelsesegnethed har. 
43. in this global context, it should be noted that the commission cannot be aware at this stage of the possible impact of differences in the overall affected population and their respective employability.
45. Kommissionen bemærker, at reintegrationsdataene i medlemsstaternes slutrapporter generelt set er ensartede og pålidelige. 
45. the commission notes that in general the reintegration data provided in the final reports of Member states is consistent and reliable.
De (undersøgte) medlemsstater har overholdt deres indberetningsforpligtelse, jf. artikel 15 i EGF-forordning nr. 1927/2006. Samtidig mener Kommissionen, at der vedrørende EGF er fundet en rimelig balance mellem omkostninger og fordele, dvs. de forpligtelser, medlemsstaterne pålægges vedrørende kontrol, indberetning og evaluering, og kvaliteten og kvantiteten af leverede data. 
When the analysis of the commission shows discrepencies, immediate action is taken. the final EGf reports have a predefined standard format, allowing an effective comparison of EGf-supported cases. the (audited) Member states have respected their reporting obligations as laid down in article 15 of the EGf regulation. at the same time, the commission considers that within the EGf, a reasonable cost-benefit balance has been struck when reviewing the obligations placed on Member states in terms of monitoring, reporting and evaluation and the quality and quantity of data provided.
Begge kilder anvendes i databasen, hvilket gør det muligt at trække tilbundsgående oplysninger ud af basen. Det skal bemærkes, at slutrapporter i sagens natur er til disposition, seks måneder efter at gennemførelsesperioden er slut. 
Both sources are used for the database, allowing the extraction of in-depth information. it should be noted that final reports, by their very nature, become available 6 months after the end of the implementation period.
De endelige data er således endnu ikke til disposition for samtlige sager, da gennemførelsesperioden for mange sagers vedkommende endnu ikke er slut. Kommissionen forbedrer i sit forslag til EGF-forordningen for 2014-2020 kontrollen med alle støtteforanstaltninger ved at videreudvikle den omtalte database og tilvejebringe en midtvejsrapport, der skal fremlægges af medlemsstaterne. 
Hence, final data are not yet available for all cases, since for many cases implementation is ongoing. the commission is improving the monitoring of all support measures by further developing its database and providing for an interim report to be presented by Member states in its proposal for the EGf regulation for 2014–20.
47. Kommissionen mener, at EU-planet er det mest hensigtsmæssige niveau med hensyn til at imødegå følgevirkningerne af den ændrede verdenshandel. 
47. the commission considers that the Eu level is the most appropriate level for dealing with the impact of changes in world trade patterns.
48. EGF medfinansierer på baggrund af artikel 3 integrerede støttepakker til arbejdstagere, herunder understøttelse i forbindelse med jobsøgning og mobilitet eller understøttelse til enkeltpersoner vedrørende livslang læring og videreuddannelsesaktiviteter. 
48. the EGf co-finances, on the basis of article 3, integrated support packages to workers, including allowances in relation to job search and mobility or allowances to individuals in lifelong learning and training activities.
35 Desuden fremgår det af Eurostats »Labour Market Policy Database — Methodology« (jf. OECD’s definition), at den arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse, som deltagere i arbejdsmarkedspolitiske foranstaltninger modtager (i stedet for at modtage videreuddannelsesstøtte, løn eller lig-nende), skal indgå som en del af udgifterne til foranstaltningen og fratrækkes de beløb, der indberettes som arbejdsløshedsunderstøttelse. 
35 furthermore, the Eurostat labour market policy database methodology states (in line with the oEcd definition) that the unemployment benefits received by participants in labour market policy measures (instead of receiving training allowances, wages or similar) should be included as part of the expenditure for that measure and excluded from the amounts reported as unemployment benefits. rEplY of tHE CommISSIoN 52. article 3 of the EGf regulation does not exclude income support, provided that the support is an integral part of the package which includes, for example, training, mentoring, support for micro-business start-up, etc.
Desuden pålægges eller udelukkes der i artikel 3 ikke nogen minimums-eller maksimumsunderstøttelsesandel. 
Moreover, article 3 does not impose or exclude any minimum or maximum proportions of allowances.
Kommissionen er derfor helt afhængig af de oplysninger, medlemsstaterne stiller til rådighed. Kommissionen analyserer disse oplysninger og baserer sine aktiviteter på denne vurdering, og derudover undersøger den EGF-sagerne ud fra sine risikovurderingskriterier. Med hensyn til de to medlemsstater, Revisionsretten nævner, fremlagde Tyskland detaljerede oplysninger om under-støttelsesystemet via en undersøgelse og indførte som følge heraf en frivillig begrænsning i støtten til understøt-telsesydelser. 
With regard to the two Member states cited by the court, Germany provided detailed information about the system of allowances through a study, and as a result self-imposed a limitation on the support for allowances. the commission, based on its assessment, accepted the outcome of this study. upon request by the commission, austria presented information on its system of allowances. the commission made the same type of analysis of the information provided by austria, and had no basis for rejecting it.
Særberetning nr. 7/2013 – Har Den Europæiske Fond for Tilpasning til globaliseringen tilført EU-merværdi med hensyn til reintegration af afskedigede arbejdstagere? 
Special report No 7/2013 – Has the European Globalisation adjustment fund delivered Eu added value in reintegrating redundant workers?
36 Fælles svar til punkt 60-62. 
36 common reply to paragraphs 60–62.
Medlemsstaterne tager kontakt med Kommissionen i begge disse perioder — og ofte allerede inden referenceperioden i sager, hvor en stor virksomhed bebuder nogle afskedigelser, og hvor de pågældende evt. er berettiget til EGF-støtte. 
Member states make contact with the commission during both of these periods, and often already before the reference period, in cases where a large undertaking has announced future redundancies that could potentially be eligible for EGf assistance. all these contacts revolve around the application form and the necessary data to complete it.
Kommissionens svar I betragtning af vurderingsprocedurens varighed har Kommissionen for 2014-2020 foreslået en frist for, hvornår medlemsstaterne skal aflevere yderligere oplysninger, og en betingelse om, at der kun rent undtagelsesvis skal afleveres yderligere oplysninger. Desuden har man i et stykke tid kunnet se en learning curve-effekt, hvilket giver mulighed for en noget hurtigere proces. Alle målorienterede ændringer bør samlet set, inkl. e-ansøgninger, give mulighed for en væsentlig hurtigere vurdering og efterfølgende vedtagelse af finansieringsafgørelser. 
Reply of the CoMMISSIoN When considering the length of the appraisal procedure, the commission has proposed for 2014–20 a deadline for Member states’ additional information, and a condition that such additional information should be provided only in exceptional cases. also, learning curve effects have been visible for some time, allowing a somewhat faster process. all targeted changes together, including e-applications, should allow an important speeding up of the length of the assessment and subsequent adoption of financing decisions.
67. Størstedelen af forberedelsesarbejdet inden finansieringsafgørelsen sker sideløbende med budgetproceduren, således at det kun er vedtagelse efter bemyndigelsesproceduren, som skal finde sted, efter at budgetmyndighedens afgørelse er blevet underskrevet. 
67. the major part of the preparation of the financing decision is concurrent with the budgetary procedure, so that only the adoption by empowerment takes place after the decision of the budgetary authority has been signed. the 4 weeks mentioned by the court include both the adoption of the financing decision by empowerment, and the actual commitment and payment of the contribution.
68. Kommissionen henviser til sit svar under punkt 60-62. 
68. the commission refers to its reply under paragraphs 60 to 62.
EGF-procedurer overstiger af de i punkt 65 og 67 nævnte grunde det kompleksitetsniveau, der er forbundet med Kommissionens almindelige finansieringsafgørelser. Som Retten bemærker (punkt 66), kan vigtige elementer af proceduren ikke komprimeres. Kommissionen har søgt at fremskynde hele godkendelsesprocessen og arbejder derfor i sit forslag til den nye forordning aktivt på at finde yderligere måder, hvorpå det samlede tidsforbrug kan reduceres, f.eks. ved udvikling af e-ansøgninger eller strammere tidsfrister for både medlemsstaterne og Kommissionen. 
EGf procedures, for the reasons referred to in paragraphs 65 and 67, exceed the level of complexity associated with ordinary financing decisions of the commission. as the court notes (paragraph 66), important parts of the procedure cannot be compressed. the commission has been striving to speed up the entire approval process and is therefore actively working on further ways by which the overall timeline can be shortened, for example through the development of e-applications or stricter deadlines for both Member states and the commission in its proposal for the new regulation.
37 konklusioner og anbeFalinger 72. Kommissionen henleder opmærksomheden på konklusionerne i midtvejsevalueringsrapporten vedrørende merværdi. I rapporten konkluderes det, at EGF har givet »betydelig merværdi«, og »uvildige eksperter konkluderede, at man næppe havde opnået resultater uden EGF-støtte«. 
37 concluSionS and recommendationS 72. the commission draws attention to the conclusions of the mid-term evaluation report related to added value. this report concludes that the EGf has delivered ‘significant added value’ and ‘independent experts concluded that hardly any results would have been achieved without EGf support’.
73. Kommissionen arbejder sammen med medlemsstaterne på at opnå en rimelig balance mellem en omfattende dækning og det tidsforbrug, det kræver at udfylde og indgive en ansøgning. 
73. the commission strives, with Member states, to achieve a reasonable balance between a comprehensive coverage and the time necessary to prepare and submit an application. it underlines that the affected workers of the downstream suppliers have never been intentionally excluded. also, even when not included, they might have received other forms of assistance.
75. Kommissionen er enig i, at EGF og ESF er indbyrdes supplerende politiske foranstaltninger som støtte til, at afskedigede arbejdstagere kommer i beskæftigelse igen, og bemærker, at Retten nævner, at syv ud af 27 medlemsstater har foretrukket ESF frem for EGF (punkt 23-24). 
75. the commission agrees that the EGf and Esf are mutually complementary policy measures in supporting the transition of redundant workers back into employment and notes that the court lists seven out of 27 Member states that preferred the Esf over the EGf (paragraphs 23 and 24). the commission also refers to its reply to recommendation no 3 of the court.
76. Kommissionen bemærker, at den generelt råder over præcise og detaljerede data vedrørende reintegration på arbejdsmarkedet for alle EGF-sager. 
76. the commission notes that, in general, it has accurate and detailed reintegration data at its disposal for all EGf cases.
Med hensyn til detaljeringsgraden af disse data overholdt medlemsstaterne i alle de undersøgte EGF-sager deres indberetningsforpligtelser i henhold til artikel 15 i EGF-forordning nr. 
With regards to the level of detail of such data, in all of the EGf cases audited, the Member states complied with their reporting obligations in accordance with article 15 of the EGf regulation.
1927/2006. Desuden understreger Kommissionen, at reintegrationsmå-lene ikke indgik i EGF-forordning nr. Kommissionen foreslog i sit forslag til den nye EGF-forordning for 2014-2020, at der skal være et mål om, at 50 % af arbejdstagerne skal være tilbage i beskæftigelse ét år efter startdatoen. 
Moreover, the commission underlines that reintegration objectives were not included in the EGf regulation. in its proposal for the new EGf regulation for 2014–20, the commission proposed as an objective to be obtained that 50 % of workers are reintegrated into employment 1 year after the date of application.
38 EGF-forordningen indeholder ikke betingelser eller fastsætter præferencer for kilden til en sådan understøttelse, og via evalueringer og vurderinger viser der sig heller ikke nogen differentiering med hensyn til effektivitet eller resultater vedrørende kilden eller typen af understøttelse for arbejdstagerne, mens de er på efteruddannelseskursus (eller deltager i andre aktiviteter) med henblik på at kunne finde nyt arbejde. 
38 the EGf regulation does not set conditions or specify a preference for the source of such allowances, nor do evaluations and assessments show any differentiation in terms of effectiveness or performance related to the source or type of allowances for workers while following training courses (or other actions) with a view to finding new employment.
Konklusionerne i midtvejsevalueringen viser, at dette mål helt klart blev nået. 80. Kommissionen er enig i, at den nuværende godkendelsesproces er lang, og arbejder derfor på om muligt at begrænse forsinkelser, samtidig med at det sikres, at sagsbehandlingen er retfærdig. 
80. the commission agrees that the current approval process is long and therefore strives to minimise delays where possible whilst ensuring that due process takes place. at present the commission is actively working to make progress in this respect.
Kommissionen arbejder i øjeblikket aktivt på at gøre fremskridt på dette område. Det er dog vigtigt at bemærke, at det ikke er procedurerne, der bestemmer, hvor hurtigt støtten når frem til arbejdstagerne, eller hæmmer solidariteten. 
However, it is important to note that procedures do not determine the speed at which support for workers arrives, nor does it hamper solidarity. in fact, the commission stimulates Member states to take action at the earliest possible stage.
