               (1)

               The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 (4), or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

               (2)

               The EGF shall not exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013.

               (3)

This application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.

               (4)

               The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of an amount of EUR 1 019 184 for the application submitted by Spain,

         HAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:
   Article 1
   For the general budget of the European Union for the financial year 2014, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund shall be mobilised to provide the sum of EUR 1 019 184 in commitment and payment appropriations.
   Article 2
