Marianne ThyssenThe European Commission has proposed to mobilise €6 million from the European Globalization Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help 2,513 former workers of Mory-Ducros in France to find new jobs. The proposal now goes to the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers for approval. The redundancies were spread across 84 sites in France.

"The economic crisis has badly affected the road transport sector," said EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility Marianne Thyssen (pictured). She stressed the importance of supporting the redundant lorry drivers and their colleagues in their efforts to find new jobs as swiftly as possible: "The European Globalization Fund will make the workers' transition to new jobs easier and faster by helping them adapt their skills to the requirements of future employment."

France applied for support from the EGF following the dismissal of 2,513 workers in Mory-Ducros SAS. These job losses were the result of the global financial and economic crisis which has deeply affected the road haulage sector, leading to its decline in line with the general weakening of physical output in Europe.

Workers will receive career advice and guidance. The total estimated cost of the package is €10m, of which the EGF would provide €6m.

Mory-Ducros was an enterprise active in the fields of courier services, freight transport and delivery, warehousing and rental of related materials, and provided these services both within France and abroad. At the time of the redundancies, it was the second biggest operator in France for such services, mobilising some 4 500 vehicles each day.

Road haulage in vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes declined by 13.7% in the EU and by 21% in France between 2007 and 2012, as a result of the global financial and economic crisis.

Faced with the reduction in volumes to be transported, a price war broke out within the sector, which was not helped by the upward evolution in the various costs (petrol, wages, materials), thus leading to a steady deterioration in operating margins and a series of losses for the sector in France since 2007.

On 25 November 2013, after two consecutive years of heavy losses, Mory-Ducros declared its insolvency and was placed under Administration. On 6 February 2014, a liquidator was appointed, tasked with closing the enterprise.

More open trade with the rest of the world leads to overall benefits for growth and employment, but it can also cost jobs, particularly in vulnerable sectors and among lower-skilled workers. This is why the Commission first proposed setting up a fund to help those adjusting to the consequences of globalization. Since starting operations in 2007, the EGF has received 133 applications. Some €543m has been requested to help about 119,000 workers. In 2013 alone, it provided more than €53.5m in support.
