4.Notes that Galicia’s car component enterprises have a strong export orientation, directing 60 to 70 % of their production to the Union; regrets that a combination of factors including the weaker-than-expected European demand and trade and supply chain disruptions resulted in structural adjustments across the car sector’s value chain in Galicia, causing temporary layoff schemes and redundancies, insolvency proceedings, and liquidations; notes that in the territory most affected by redundancies, the Vigo area, unemployment stands at 11,2 % - almost double the Union average (5,8 %); stresses that these developments underline the importance of a competitive, stable and innovation-friendly business environment that encourages investment in the twin transition, and enables automotive companies and their suppliers to adapt to structural and technological changes while safeguarding production and quality employment in Europe; highlights that Galicia’s Automotive and Mobility Sector closed the 2025 financial year with a turnover of EUR 13,3 billion, representing a 5 % increase on the previous year https://www.clustercollaboration.eu/content/galician-automotive-industry-achieves-record-figures-and-strengthens-its-role.;

6.Notes that the Galician automotive and mobility sector saw its workforce grow in 2025 by 1,6%, reaching 23,900 direct jobs by the end of the year, therefore stresses that the workers made redundant must be re-employed into quality employment;

7.Notes that eight in ten displaced workers have an educational attainment of post-secondary level or lower, with one in four being aged over 54, facing greater barriers to re-entering the labour market; calls on the Spanish and regional authorities to address social disparities and structural barriers preventing displaced workers from accessing quality employment, including unequal access to education and age-related discrimination; takes note that the automotive industry in Galicia employs a high proportion of skilled and specialised workers and that the regional labour market has a limited capacity to immediately re-employ such specialised workers; stresses the need to align training with labour market needs as they evolve in order to facilitate rapid reintegration into employment; emphasises the importance of fostering high-quality, future-oriented jobs to ensure long-term economic and social resilience; stresses that reintegration efforts should prioritise stable and quality employment over temporary contractual arrangements;

8.Stresses, in this context, the importance of close cooperation with regional businesses, employers and social partners to identify employment opportunities and ensure that training and requalification programmes respond to concrete labour market needs;

9.Recalls that, in agreement with trade unions, regional authorities and social partners, personalised services to be provided to the displaced workers consist of the following measures: information, intake phase and workers’ profiling; occupational guidance; training; job-search assistance; tutoring; financial support and incentives to prevent long-term unemployment including for older workers;

10.Stresses that the Spanish and regional authorities shall ensure the visibility of the Union funding and highlight its added value by providing effective, clear and timely information to beneficiaries, regional and local authorities, social partners, and the wider public; underlines that the EGF is a concrete expression of European solidarity, demonstrating that the Union stands with workers and communities affected by major economic and structural change; stresses that clear communication of the support provided through the EGF is essential to showcasing the tangible benefits of the Union action and strengthening citizens’ confidence in the European project;

12.Calls for thorough final evaluations of the measures implemented, including how the funds were used, the reintegration of workers into the labour market, and whether the EGF objectives were achieved; stresses that regular monitoring should assess the effectiveness of the measures financed and ensure that the EGF funding effectively contributes to the rapid and sustainable reintegration of beneficiaries into the quality employment;

13.Recalls that national and regional authorities shall ensure equal opportunities in terms of gender, ensuring gender equality is integrated into and promoted throughout the implementation of the EGF measures;

14.Notes that Spain started providing personalised services to the targeted beneficiaries and incurring administrative expenditure to implement the EGF on 1 September 2026 and 1 July 2026, respectively, and that the period of eligibility for a financial contribution from the EGF will be from that date until 24 months and until 31 months after the date of the entry into force of the financing decision, respectively;

15.Notes that the Spanish authorities provided assurance that the principles of equality of treatment and non-discrimination will be respected in the proposed actions and their implementation, and that any double financing will be prevented;

16.Reiterates that assistance from the EGF must not replace actions that are the responsibility of public authorities or companies under national law or collective agreements; recalls that the EGF is a limited, targeted and complementary mechanism and must be accompanied by broader structural economic and social policies that sustain sustainable economic growth, promote a stable and innovation-friendly business environment, and protect Union enterprises, economic operators and their workers;
