EXPEDIENTE DE REGULACIÓN DE EMPLEO When a Spanish company wants to make permanent employees redundant, it is first legally required to draw up an expediente de regulación de empleo (or “ERE”) to present to the authorities. In effect, this requires official permission for redundancies which have not been agreed with workers' representatives. Between 1997 and 2002 more than 600,000 jobs were eliminated by this means.
