Paragraph 6

6. Deeply regrets that the Commission did not duly analyse the effectiveness of the use of the crisis derogation criterion, especially taking into account that these EGF cases were not duly considered in the EGF framework review; regrets, however, that the results did not arrive in time to feed into the discussion on the new regulation for the EGF in 2014-2020, especially regarding the effectiveness of the use of the crisis derogation criterion; still believes that this should be taken into account for the future evaluation of the EGF; calls on the co-legislators to consider the reintroduction of this measure without delay, especially in the context of the social emergency situations in several Member StatesCalls on the Commission to produce a detailed analysis of the effectiveness of the use of the crisis derogation criterion;

Paragraph 9

9. Recalls the fact that following repeated requests from the Parliament the 2014 budget shows payment appropriations of EUR 50 000 000 on the EGF budget line 04 04 01; deeply regrets that the appropriations made available decreased compared to the previous Multiannual Financial Framework, despite the huge increase of unemployment in several Member States; recalls that the EGF was created as a separate specific instrument with its own objectives and deadlines and that it therefore deserves a dedicated and adequate allocation, which would avoid unnecessary delays due to the fact that most of its financing is still made through transfers from other budget lines, which has proven detrimental to the achievement of the social, economic and policy objectives of the EGF;deleted
