Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill responds to the claim that the central State has been managing employment programs that belong to the Basque Country since the 2010 transfer, effective January 1, 2011. This would have caused disputes in the settlement of the quota exceeding 200 million euros.
  2. The bill would add a provision to the Employment Law so that the powers of the State Public Employment Service in the Basque Country are carried out by the Basque administration, under the transfer approved by Royal Decree 1441/2010 and the funding system of its Statute of Autonomy.
  3. It would also amend Law 43/2006 so that, in the Basque Country, Social Security contribution rebates linked to active employment policies are managed by the Basque administration.
  4. Finally, it would add provisions to three laws (the PREPARA plan, the Youth Guarantee System and the Employment Activation Program) so that the management and funding of their benefits in the Basque Country would fall to the Basque administration.

Who it affects

  • Unemployed people in the Basque Country: Their benefits and employment programs would be managed by Basque institutions instead of the State Public Employment Service.
  • Companies with workplaces in the Basque Country: Social Security and training contribution rebates would be managed by the Autonomous Community.
  • Basque Government: It would receive the management and funding of the transferred employment functions.
  • State Public Employment Service: It would stop managing the affected programs in the Basque Country, except for the transfer exceptions, such as paying unemployment benefits.
