Aid No: XE 9/03
Member State: Italy
Region: Campania
Title of aid scheme: Recruitment of disadvantaged workers
‘IN LA’ project — Jobs for the long-term unemployed in the Province of Naples.
Under this project firms are given a grant of EUR 5 164,66 for each long-term unemployed person they recruit on a permanent basis or fixed-term contract of at least twelve months' duration, in the tourism and agriculture sectors
Legal basis: L. 23.12.1996, n. 662, art. 2 comma 203, lett. b)
Intesa Istituzionale di programma del 16.9.2003
D. D. 19 giugno 2003
Annual expenditure planned: EUR 15 494 000
Maximum aid intensity under: Article 5: recruitment of disadvantaged workers
The maximum special grant for each beneficiary firm is 50 % of the wage costs calculated over a period of one year following recruitment. Both figures are gross, i.e. before taxes. Under Article 8(4) the special grant may be cumulated with other national or Community incentives applicable for the same recruitment, given that these are measures for getting the long-term unemployed back into work; in any case the cumulation of aid cannot exceed the ceilings laid down in Regulation (EC) No 2204/2002, therefore the gross aid intensity resulting from the cumulation cannot exceed 100 % of the wage costs over any period for which the worker or workers are employed.
This means that, in addition to the grant of EUR 5 164,66, for every person recruited on a permanent basis firms are also entitled to the incentives for recruitment of long-term unemployed persons on a permanent full-time or part-time basis under Article 8(9) of Law No 407/90 (100 % exemption from employer's social security contributions for 36 months in the case of firms operating in the Mezzogiorno and craft firms; 50 % exemption from the same contributions for the same period in the case of private-sector employers such as professional practices, foundations, associations, etc. in the Mezzogiorno, and also firms in North Central Italy).
The incentives under Article 8(9) of Law No 407/90 do not apply to recruitment in the tourist industry or in agriculture if the contract is for a fixed term, even if for 12 months or more
