INTRODUCTION AND SUMMARY

This note summarises the results achieved from EU budget resources devoted to the EU Globalisation
Adjustment Fund, and describes the role played by the EP in making such resources made available. The
European Parliament has been instrumental in the creation and maintenance of the fund designed to
help workers made redundant as a result of globalisation. Reports already received covering 60 of the 146
applications for help submitted to date, show that of the 28 662 redundant workers who have received
help, 14 333 are back at work and further 1 069 are in education or training. A list of all applications
received to date may be found in the Annex.
1.

AIMS OF THE EU GLOBALISATION ADJUSTMENT FUND

The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was introduced in 20071. It provides support to
people losing their jobs as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns leading to serious
economic disruption, the rapid decline of the EU market share or delocalisation to third countries.
EGF cannot provide support to companies or institutions, nor co-finance social protection measures. EGF
is different from, and complementary to EU Structural and Investment Funds which take a strategic, long
term perspective, whereas EGF provides workers with one-off and finite support in cases when:
a) at least 500 redundancies over a period of four months in an enterprise in a Member State,
including workers made redundant in its downstream producers
b) at least 500 redundancies over a period of nine months, particularly in small or medium-sized
enterprises
c) In small labour markets or in exceptional circumstances, where duly substantiated by the
Member State concerned, an application for a contribution from the EGF may be considered
admissible even if the intervention criteria laid down in points a) and b) are not entirely met.
(The regulation was amended in 20092 to allow support for Member States in their responses to the
negative impact on employment of the global financial and economic crisis. This temporary 'crisis
derogation' lapsed on 31.12.2011.)
The new EGF regulation covering the current MFF period (2014-2020)3 increases eligibility and simplifies
procedures. More specifically, it reintroduces the crisis mobilisation criterion, increases the Union
financial contribution to 60 % of the total estimated cost of proposed measures, increases efficiency in
the treatment of EGF applications by shortening the time of assessment and approval, widens eligible
actions and beneficiaries to include self-employed persons and young people and places ceiling on
incentives for setting up businesses.

EU BUDGET RESOURCES FOR THE EU GLOBALISATION ADJUSTMENT FUND

2.1.

OVERALL

During 2007-2013, the fund was limited to EUR 500 million per year. The current EGF regulation allows up
to EUR 150 million per year for the period 2014-2020.
Since 2007, 146 applications for aid for workers made redundant as a result of changes in world trade
patterns and the global financial and economic crisis have been received from the Member States. Funds

ROLE PLAYED BY THE EP

Following the European Council agreement to create the EGF in December 20054 the European
Parliament welcomed the fund5 and approved its establishment for the 2007-2013 financial framework
period. For the 2014-2020 financial framework period the European Parliament insisted that the EGF
should be maintained, but that procedures for drawing on the fund should be simplified, allowing
greater take-up6. The Council could not initially muster a qualified majority for the continuation of the
EGF after 20137. The EP reaffirmed its position in favour of the EGF in its resolution of 13 June 20128, and
the new EGF regulation covering the period 2014-2020 was adopted on 17.12.2013.

RESULTS ACHIEVED

The first part of this section provides information on the overall results achieved by the EGF, and the
second part gives some specific examples.

3.1.

OVERALL

By the end of 2012, Member States had submitted reports detailing the results achieved by the EGF in
respect of 60 of the 110 applications submitted to date9. According to these reports 14 333 workers (50%
of the 28 662 workers who benefited from EGF assistance) had found new jobs or were self-employed by
the end of the EGF implementation period. The Commission points out that the workers supported by
EGF co-funded measures are usually among those with the greatest difficulties in the labour market and
therefore considers this a good result. A further 1 069 workers (3.7%) were still in education or training,
while 12 816 (44.7%) were unemployed or inactive for personal reasons.
The midterm evaluation of the EGF published in 201110 demonstrates these main conclusions regarding
its performance and value:
The EGF has delivered significant added value ...
According to a stakeholder survey with 59 participants, 56% per cent of the interviewees stated that only
some or hardly any of the results could have been achieved without EGF funding. Furthermore, 24%
were of the opinion that at least half of the results can be attributed to the help provided by EGF funding.
Beneficiaries significantly increased in confidence and improved their qualifications ...
Stakeholders report that, to a large extent, beneficiaries had significantly increased in confidence and
upgraded their skills and capacities as a result of taking part in training programs or other types of actions
financed with EGF money. The training and qualifications the beneficiaries gained were in many cases a
key factor for gaining employment in sectors they were not previously working in, which serves to
illustrate that the EGF is fulfilling its primary goal of retraining workers and equipping them with new
tools and qualifications to make them employable in different sectors other than the ones they were
previously employed in. In the cases where training and new qualifications did not lead to new

employment, these measures still increased their future prospects for gaining employment in the
medium and long term.
Complementarity towards the ESF ...
The EGF and the European Social Fund (ESF) serve as complementary policy measures. While the
European Social Fund provides long term support with strategic aims and adjustment possibilities, the
EGF is a one-time limited and specific response designed to react rapidly to a single situation where
globalisation has created large redundancies. This model provides the possibility for the Fund to be
flexible in the sense that it can be tailored to the needs of the individual workers, often providing intense
personalised support. Thus, compared to the long-term planning of the ESF, the EGF could adapt
specifically to the labour market situation in the locality and the needs of the beneficiaries.
3.2.

CASE STUDIES11

Finland
Perlos is a Finnish component supplier for the telecommunications industry established in 1953. It
specialises in the assembly, design and manufacturing of mechanical and electronic components for
mobile phones. It followed the typical employment trends in the mobile phone technology sector, with
employment growing steadily throughout the 1990s and reaching its highest level in 2004. In the 1990's
the majority of employees were working in Finland as all R&D, design and manufacturing was performed
there with only small-scale activities in the UK and the Americas. But by the end of the decade this had
dramatically changed, with one quarter of the company's employees employed outside of Finland and by
2008 only 2% of the company's employees were working in Finland.
The incident triggering Finland to apply for funds from the EGF was the decision to stop production
altogether in Finland and shut down their remaining factories in Joensuu and Kontilahti. This move
triggered the reduction of over 1 100 workers.
The EGF financial contribution granted amounted to EUR 2 028 538 and active employment measures
included:

occupational guidance,

training and retraining,

entrepreneurship promotion,

mobility allowances,

pay subsidy vouchers and

vocational skill and competence analysis

Outcome of measures
EGF funding was considered to be an extremely valuable addition to other funding sources available
nationally. In addition, the workers deemed to have benefitted most from the assistance were those
belonging to the most vulnerable groups of affected workers, which include: older workers, low-skilled
workers, and women (especially single-mothers).
In Finland, the government had been running a public sector productivity programme to scale down
costs, and for that reason it was very difficult to get funding to hire additional personnel to assist the

Adjustment Fund: A Comparison of Experiences in Germany and Finland"

redundant workers. In this aspect the EGF funding was crucial as it enabled the hiring of more staff to
cope with the demands which the local job centre could not.
It would not have been possible to implement the types of measures that EGF funding contributed to by
using the ESF as this situation arose in 2007 when the ESF programme was in transition from the old
(2000-2006) programme to the new (2007-2013). In addition the ESF, as mentioned in the midterm
review, focuses on longer term projects. The Finnish Perlos case thus illustrates how important a flexible
budget is in order to provide rapid responses to unforeseen events.
In the Perlos case more than half (57%) of the workers were employed 11 months after being made
redundant. The majority of the workers (68%) found new jobs in the manufacturing industry followed by
construction (7%), health and social sector (6%), wholesale and retail (5%), transport and warehousing
(4%), and other (10%). Another positive effect was the creation of 30-40 new companies in the same
region by former Perlos employees. These new companies proved to be an important source for new
jobs for many of the workers affected by the closure.

Germany
In 2005, the Taiwanese company BenQ acquired the mobile phone division of Germanys electronics
company Siemens. This involved BenQ taking over sites responsible for producing and repairing mobile
handsets. Preceding this sale, Siemens had decided to exit the highly competitive mobile phone
production market following years of significant losses. The purchase by BenQ thus generated a great
deal of hope given that the prime reason for the deal had been the acquirement of a highly trained
workforce and the possibility of expanding its market share in Europe. However, after one year of
continued losses, BenQ decided in late 2006 to withdraw all financial support from its German
subsidiaries. The repercussions were significant, creating 1 342 redundancies in Munich alone, with 3 303
workers being made redundant in total.
In total the expenditure for employment measures was EUR 20 547 446 and out of this amount, the EGF
contributed with EUR 10 273 723.
Active employment measures included:

short time allowance,

mobility allowance,

training measures,

placement,

counselling,

aftercare

Outcome of measures
Qualification measures funded by the EGF after an assessment of the regional and local labour market to
assess skills shortages and adjust the training accordingly, were of particular value. Most of the workers
benefitting from this type of qualification measures managed to find placements. The use of EGF funding
enabled a longer intervention period by the German government and it also enabled the funding of
aftercare for workers who accepted a job in a new professional area.
Of the 3 303 employees made redundant, 84% had found stable employment by the end of the
implementation period (1 January 2007 to 26 June 2008).
