THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

IL-PARLAMENT EWROPEW U L-KUNSILL TAL-UNJONI EWROPEA,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

wara li kkunsidraw it-Trattat dwar il-Funzjonament tal-Unjoni Ewropea,

Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission on budgetary discipline and sound financial management [1], and in particular point 28 thereof,

wara li kkunsidraw il-Ftehim Interistituzzjonali tas- 17 ta' Mejju 2006 bejn il-Parlament Ewropew, il-Kunsill u l-Kummissjoni dwar id-dixxiplina tal-baġit u l-amministrazzjoni finanzjarja tajba [1], u b'mod partikulari l-punt 28 tiegħu,

Having regard to Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund [2], and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,

wara li kkunsidraw ir-Regolament (KE) Nru 1927/2006 tal-Parlament Ewropew u tal-Kunsill tal- 20 ta' Diċembru 2006 li jistabbilixxi l-Fond Ewropew ta' Aġġustament għall-Globalizzazzjoni [2], u b’mod partikulari l-Artikolu 12(3) tiegħu,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

wara li kkunsidraw il-proposta mill-Kummissjoni Ewropea,

Whereas:

Billi:

(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

(1) Il-Fond Ewropew ta’ Aġġustament għall-Globalizzazzjoni (EGF) twaqqaf biex jipprovdi appoġġ addizzjonali għall-ħaddiema ssensjati minħabba bidliet strutturali maġġuri fix-xejriet kummerċjali dinjin dovuti għall-globalizzazzjoni u sabiex jiġu megħjuna fl-integrazzjoni mill-ġdid tagħhom fis-suq tax-xogħol.

(2) The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a direct result of the global financial and economic crisis.

(2) L-ambitu tal-EGF twessa’ għall-applikazzjonijiet mressqa mill- 1 ta’ Mejju 2009 biex jinkludi sostenn lill-ħaddiema li jitilfu l-impjieg bħala riżultat dirett tal-kriżi globali finanzjarja u ekonomika.

(3) The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million.

(3) Il-Ftehim Interistituzzjonali tas- 17 ta’ Mejju 2006 jippermetti l-mobilizzazzjoni tal-EGF taħt il-limitu massimu annwali ta’ EUR 500 miljun.

(4) Denmark submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the Danfoss Group. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission, therefore, proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 8893336.

(4) Id-Danimarka ressqet applikazzjoni għall-mobilizzazzjoni tal-EGF, fir-rigward ta' sensji fil-Grupp Danfoss. Din l-applikazzjoni tikkonforma mar-rekwiżiti sabiex jiġu ddeterminati l-kontribuzzjonijiet finanzjarji kif stabbilit fl-Artikolu 10 tar-Regolament (KE) Nru 1927/2006. Il-Kummissjoni għalhekk ressqet proposta biex timmobilizza l-ammont ta' EUR 8893336.

(5) The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Denmark,

(5) L-EGF għandu, għalhekk, jiġi mmobilizzat sabiex jipprovdi kontribuzzjoni finanzjarja għall-applikazzjoni mressqa mid-Danimarka.
