The first case concerns an application by Spain for an EU contribution of EUR 720 000. The EU funding aims at facilitating the re-integration into the labour market of 303 workers made redundant by 5 companies in the clothing sector in the Spanish region of Galicia. The second application, by Sweden, involves EU funding worth EUR 2,1 million for the re-integration into the labour market of 900 workers made redundant by Ericsson in four Swedish regions, as a result of the negative growth in the hardware-centric business line of the telecom industry in Sweden due to global competition. The BUDG committee on 22 February recommended the approval of both applications.
