DECISION (EU) 2015\/2458 OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL<\/p>\n

of 16 December 2015<\/p>\n

on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (application from Ireland \u2014 EGF\/2015\/006 IE\/PWA International)<\/p>\n

THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,<\/p>\n

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\u00a0(1<\/span>), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,<\/p>\n

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\u00a0(2<\/span>), and in particular point 13 thereof,<\/p>\n

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,<\/p>\n

Whereas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(1)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

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.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(2)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article\u00a012 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311\/2013\u00a0(3<\/span>).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(3)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

On 19 June 2015, Ireland submitted an application EGF\/2015\/006 IE\/PWA International for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in PWA International Ltd and one supplier in Ireland. 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 in accordance with Article 13 of that Regulation.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(4)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

In accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1309\/2013, Ireland has decided to provide personalised services co-financed by the EGF also to 108 young persons not in employment, education or training (NEETs).<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(5)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

In accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1309\/2013, the application from Ireland is considered admissible since the redundancies have a serious impact on employment and the local, regional or national economy.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(6)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 442\u00a0293 in respect of the application submitted by Ireland.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n\n\n\n<\/colgroup>\n\n\n
\n

(7)<\/p>\n<\/td>\n

\n

In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this decision should apply from the date of its adoption,<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:<\/p>\n

Article 2<\/p>\n

This Decision shall enter into force on the day of its publication in the Official Journal of the European Union<\/span>.<\/p>\n

It shall apply from 16 December 2015.<\/p>\n
