The application concerns a contribution from the EU budget of EUR 4,6 million aimed at facilitating the re-integration into the labour market of 2 287 workers made redundant by Caterpillar Solar Gosselies and five suppliers in the Belgian province of Hainaut in the course of 2017. In addition, assistance will also be given to up to 300 young people not in employment, education or training under the age of 30. This is Belgium's second EGF application in relation to Caterpillar. In 2014, EU assistance was granted to 1 399 redundant Caterpillar workers. The current proposal covers the remaining workers following the closure of all Caterpillar's activities in Belgium. The vote in committee will take place on 23-24 April.
