European Parliament Alerts from the Budgets committee

Highlights - European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: plenary vote on Spanish, Swedish applications - Committee on Budgets 05-03-2018 02:49 PM CET On 1 March, on the basis of a proposal by the BUDG committee, plenary approved two applications by Member States to mobilise the EGF. 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 had already recommended the approval of both applications.
