Amendment 1

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 5 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(5a) The Union faces increasingly unequal competition from third countries due to the fact that they do not comply with the same level of labour rights or safety and environmental regulations. Union enterprises must be supported in their fight against unfair competition and workers must be protected from its negative consequences.

Amendment 2

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 6

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(6) The EGF’s role continues to be important as a flexible instrument to support workers who lose their jobs in large-scale restructuring events and to help them to find other jobs as quickly as possible. The Union should continue to provide specific, one-off support to facilitate the reintegration into decent and sustainable employment of displaced workers in areas, sectors, territories or labour markets suffering from a shock caused by serious economic disruption. The EU has to ensure its sustainable prosperity and competitiveness while preserving its unique social market economy, succeeding in the twin transition, and safeguarding its democracy, economic security and geopolitical standing. To safeguard the EU’s future as an economic powerhouse, and progress on its twin digital and green transition, it is vital to support workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring so that they can acquire the skills that would help them transfer into a different role, or to change job.

(6) The EGF’s role continues to be important as a flexible instrument to support workers who lose their jobs in large-scale restructuring events and to help them to find other suitable jobs as quickly as possible. The Union should continue to provide specific, one-off support to facilitate the reintegration into decent and sustainable employment of displaced workers in areas, sectors, territories or labour markets suffering from a shock caused by serious economic disruption. The Union has to ensure its sustainable prosperity, strategic autonomy and competitiveness while preserving its unique social market economy, supporting workers and enterprises to ensure a just twin transition, preserving jobs in the Union and safeguarding its democracy, economic security and geopolitical standing. To safeguard the Unions future as an economic powerhouse, and progress on its twin digital and green transition, it is vital to support workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring so that they can acquire the skills that would help them transfer into a different role in the same enterprise, or to change job. If a restructuring process affects the direct suppliers and downstream producers of an enterprise, workers employed by them should also be eligible for EGF support, provided that their employer agrees to cover the related costs. Suppliers and downstream producers should demonstrate that there is a causal link between such effects and the initial restructuring process.

Amendment 3

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 7

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(7) Therefore it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2021/691 so that the EGF can also offer assistance to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring. As these workers are still in active employment, their employer may request assistance through the relevant Member States’ authorities. As the EGF is under shared management, it is the Member States’ authorities that can request EGF co-funding upon receipt of a request by an enterprise, provided that the enterprise agrees to provide the national co-funding. Should the financial contribution from the EGF be granted, the Member State concerned should make the funds requested available to the enterprise within two weeks of their receipt. In particular, the enterprise should make available to the Member State all information needed to prepare the final report on the implementation of the relevant financial contribution, not later than six months after the end of the implementation of the assistance. The Commission will prepare a beneficiary survey and the enterprise should share the access to the survey to the workers who participated in the programme.

(7) The EGF should be extended to comprise a more preventive approach by financing up-front training and reskilling that enables cross-sectoral labour mobility. It should support workers by developing transferable skills to avoid redundancies and to allow a smooth transition into new employment, preferably in the same region, thereby reducing the social cost of restructuring. Therefore it is necessary to amend Regulation (EU) 2021/691 so that the EGF can also offer assistance to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring, as well as their direct suppliers and downstream producers, with particular focus on workers employed by SMEs and disadvantaged groups of workers, such as older workers, persons with disabilities and low-skilled workers. To ensure efficient EGF spending, support should benefit enterprises undergoing restructuring processes that contribute to the twin green and digital transition. As these workers are still in active employment, their employer may request assistance through the relevant Member States’ authorities. Where several enterprises are affected by the same restructuring process, Member States should be able to provide the submission of collective applications. As the EGF is under shared management, it is the Member States’ authorities that can request EGF co-funding upon receipt of a request by one or more enterprises, provided that the enterprises agree to provide the national co-funding. Should the financial contribution from the EGF be granted, the Member State concerned should make the funds requested available to the enterprises within one week of their receipt. In particular, the enterprises should make available to the Member State all information needed to prepare the final report on the implementation of the relevant financial contribution, not later than six months after the end of the implementation of the assistance. The Commission will prepare a beneficiary survey and the enterprises should share access to the survey with the workers who participated in the programme and with their representatives.

Amendment 4

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 8 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8a) Restructuring processes should support an enterprise’s economic sustainability and long-term employment stability, thus strengthening the Unions competitiveness. Therefore, restructuring plans should anticipate and manage change as early as possible to prevent insolvency and job losses, while involving workers’ representatives and trade unions at an early stage. Both the decision by the enterprise to submit an application for EGF support and the design of the coordinated package of personalised measures should be done in consultation with the targeted beneficiaries, their representatives and the social partners as applicable in order to ensure workers’ rights to information and consultation are respected in line with Union and national legislation and to ensure the quality and relevance of the measures.

Amendment 5

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 8 b (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(8b) Applications for financial support involving enterprises undergoing restructuring located in small labour markets, regions with high structural unemployment or involving only SMEs should be able to be considered to be admissible even if not all eligibility criteria are met. In such cases, the reasons for not meeting all criteria should be duly substantiated in the application. In the case of applications involving micro, small and medium-sized enterprises, limited administrative capacity should be taken into account.

Amendment 6

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 9

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(9) The support provided to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring should take into account existing forms of support available under national measures. Short-time work schemes should not be eligible for EGF support as they do not relate to the displacement of jobs, but to their temporary suspension. If the national measures allow it, the requesting enterprise may subcontract the delivery of the coordinated package of personalised measures, or parts thereof.

(9) The support provided to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring should supplement existing forms of support available under national measures or collective agreements and support the twin digital and green transition by reskilling and upskilling workers and by doing so ensuring quality jobs creation and decent working conditions. Short-time work schemes should not be eligible for EGF support as they do not relate to the displacement of jobs, but to their temporary suspension. If the national measures allow it, the requesting enterprise may subcontract the delivery of the coordinated package of personalised measures, or parts thereof.

Amendment 7

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 10

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(10) The co-financing rate for such measures targeted to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring should be equal to the co-financing rate for EGF assistance to displaced workers. Enterprises that request EGF support should provide the national co-financing.

Amendment 8

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 13

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(13) Workers affected by imminent job displacement receiving EGF assistance should remain eligible even if their work relationship ends. They should also remain eligible for possible follow-up applications by the respective Member States in support of displaced workers from the same enterprise.

(13) Workers affected by imminent job displacement receiving EGF assistance should remain eligible for continued EGF support even if their work relationship ends. They should also remain eligible for possible follow-up applications by the respective Member States in support of displaced workers from the same enterprise.

Amendment 9

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 14 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(14a) Given the uneven uptake of EGF support by Member States, the Commission should raise awareness of the funding opportunities available and promote its usage. Moreover, the Commission should assist Member States through technical guidance and dissemination of good practices.

Amendment 10

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 15

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(15) To provide swifter support to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring or workers made redundant and allow them to benefit from Union solidarity in the current context of economic disruptions and rapid changes, there is a need to accelerate the support given to the workers. One way of doing this is by requiring the Commission to request to the European Parliament and the Council to mobilise the full maximum annual amount at the beginning of each year, if specific conditions are met. The Commission proposal should therefore indicate the circumstances that led the Commission to conclude that the conditions to request full mobilisation of the maximum annual amount, have been met. The Commission proposal should be based on information provided by the Member States at the end of each year. The proposal should include the number of potential applications from each Member State concerned, the sectors of activities concerned, the estimated number of enterprises which could request Member States to apply for EGF support, and the estimated number of workers at risk of imminent job displacement or that have been displaced. The identity of the enterprises concerned should not be revealed if the information is not yet publicly known.

Amendment 11

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 16

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(16) Once the full mobilisation of the maximum annual amount is approved by the European Parliament and the Council, the Commission should adopt financing decisions on individual applications and should be required to immediately inform the European Parliament and the Council of the adoption of those decisions. If the full mobilised maximum annual amount is not used by the Commission in a given year, that amount would lapse at the end of the financial year.

deleted

Amendment 12

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 16 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(16a) Given the scale and frequency of restructuring in recent years, there are concerns that the existing EGF budget will be insufficient to meet increasing needs. Therefore, a minimum of 40% of the annual maximum amount of the EGF should be reserved for applications concerning the cessation of activity of displaced workers or self-employed persons. In addition, any financial contribution to workers affected by imminent job displacement should be capped per application. The discontinuation of the EGF budget under the proposed next multiannual financial framework is regrettable and there is a need to ensure continued support for displaced workers in the next MFF.

Amendment 13

Proposal for a regulation

Recital 17 a (new)

Text proposed by the Commission

Amendment

(17a) This Regulation has implications for the Union budget. Accordingly, the European Parliament’s Committee on Budgets adopted a budgetary assessment, which forms an integral part of Parliament’s mandate for negotiations.

EXPLANATORY STATEMENT

Currently, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) is an emergency fund to be used to support displaced workers who have lost their job due to structural economic transformations. This support enables the most vulnerable workers who lose their job in large scale restructuring events to find new employment as soon as possible. However, the change in production models related to the twin digital and green transition can further increase the amount of restructuring processes. This increases pressure on companies who already need to invest in these transitions. At the same time, international trade developments put further pressure on our European companies, who might have to change operational organisation because of it.

For these reasons and to protect both the strategic independence of the European Union and European jobs, enterprise closures and redundancies should be avoided at all costs. Therefore, proactive, specific and targeted support for workers in companies undergoing restructuring should also be possible under the EGF. This support should enable workers to find new employment in the same company but in a new function, or to find employment in another company. Keeping skilled workers can also support companies undergoing restructuring to continue their European activities.

Given the importance of aligning the EGF support to the Union’s broader strategic goals, this Regulation needs to make sure the available EGF support goes to companies whose restructuring process strengthens the twin digital and green transition and that support goes to the workers affected by imminent job displacement. This will increase the Fund’s role in driving sustainable innovation and skills development. This safeguards the use of public funds and ensures the EGF becomes a tool not only of mitigation but also of transformation.

One of the most significant additions introduces eligibility for workers in direct suppliers and downstream users of enterprises undergoing restructuring, as they are also covered in current EGF support. This reflects the complex interdependencies within modern value chains and acknowledges that the ripple effects of restructuring often extend beyond the core enterprise. To maintain accountability and ensure targeted intervention, the additions require proof of a demonstrated causal link between these workers and the primary restructuring event.

To ensure the targeted packages are specifically designed for the workers affected by imminent job displacement, the early and meaningful involvement of workers and their representatives is paramount. Therefore, applicable national legislation on social dialogue should always be respected during the entire process. The amendments promote transparency and fairness during restructuring and safeguard workers’ rights to participate in decisions that affect their futures. The draft also proposes an enhanced role for social partners in designing the coordinated support packages, ensuring that training and upskilling measures are tailored, effective, and relevant to regional labour markets

To reduce administrative burden for both Member States and companies, the additions also propose the use of standardized templates, centralized guidance and increased clarity on State aid rules.

In summary, these additions respond to both the evolving nature of job displacement and the Union’s strategic priorities. They aim to make the EGF more inclusive, future-oriented, and integrated with EU social and industrial policy, ensuring it remains a vital mechanism for supporting workers in transition.

BUDGETARY ASSESSMENT OF THE COMMITTEE ON BUDGETS

for the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs

on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EU) 2021/691 as regards support to workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring

(COM(2025)0140 – C100060/2025 – 2025/0073(COD))

Rapporteur for budgetary assessment: Johan Van Overtveldt

The Committee on Budgets has carried out a budgetary assessment of the proposal under Rule 58 of the Rules of Procedure and has reached the following conclusions:

A. whereas the proposal aims to broaden the scope of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) to also allow for support to workers affected by imminent job displacement;

B. whereas the proposal does not modify existing budgetary commitments and remains within the limits of the overall allocations for the period 2021-2027 and is therefore budget-neutral; whereas the Commission has not proposed a dedicated successor fund for the period 2028-2034;

C. whereas the proposal includes changes to the EGF mobilisation procedure that put an end to the regular involvement of the budgetary authority and therefore severely undermine its oversight role;

Conclusions of the budgetary assessment

1. Determines that the proposal is compatible with the MFF Regulation; notes that the proposed enlargement of the scope of support will be covered within the maximum amount set for this special instrument;

2. Recalls, however, that in the recent mid-term review of the MFF, the maximum amount available annually for the EGF had been substantially reduced from EUR 186 million to EUR 30 million; considers that the proposed broadening of the intervention criteria now carries a significant risk of exhausting this amount in a given year, potentially leading to a backlog of financing decisions; notes that the average take-up rate was only 63 % between 2021 and 2024; recalls that the total annual amount had not been used so far and therefore it was substantially reduced in the recent mid-term review of the MFF;

3. Notes that the proposed tripling of the maximum amount for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission implies a further limitation of funds available for active labour market measures, while acknowledging that the amounts available for technical assistance were drastically reduced as a result of the reduction of the overall envelope in the mid-term review of the MFF; stresses that, rather than expanding administrative resources, focus should be put on simplifying and shortening the internal processes so as to reduce the burden on final beneficiaries and accelerate the delivery of support;

4. Notes that the proposal requires additional human resources of EUR 1 431 000 per year in 2025, 2026 and 2027, for six establishment plan posts and three external staff; notes that the additional needs will be covered by redeployment within the DG or other Commission services;

5. Notes additionally that, while the change to the mobilisation procedure could reduce the time between the application for assistance from the EGF and the financing decision by the Commission, the eligibility period for co-financed measures would at the same time become shorter in absolute terms; considers that the current six-week deadline for a decision by the budgetary authority is not detrimental to the swift provision of support; notes that, under Article 8(6) of Regulation (EU) 2021/691, the Commission has 50 working days from receipt of the complete application from the Member State to complete its analysis; highlights the fact that, in practice, the Commission frequently requires more than the 50 working days and that it should give priority to simplifying and shortening its internal processes when assessing and deciding on applications under this regulation; opposes any simplification that comes at the expense of institutional balance, in particular of the rights of Parliament as budgetary authority;

6. Determines that the proposal is compatible with the letter of the IIA; notes, however, that the aims of the IIA include the improvement of interinstitutional cooperation on budgetary matters; considers that the proposed drastic simplification of the mobilisation procedure runs counter to that goal and would change the nature of the EGF as a stand-alone thematic special instrument that is implemented with the close involvement of the budgetary authority;

7. Considers that the proposal is compatible with the budgetary principles laid down in the Financial Regulation; notes, nevertheless, a degree of contradiction, in terms of sound financial management, between the recent decrease of the maximum annual amount available for the EGF and the proposed broadening of the EGF’s scope;

Recommendations

8. Rejects the proposed change to the mobilisation procedure, and in particular the introduction of a single request for mobilisation of the maximum annual amount based on estimates by Member States for the support needed until the end of the year; proposes maintaining the practice of case-by-case mobilisation of the EGF on the basis of an assessment of the material conditions for support; stresses that Parliament’s role as budgetary authority must be fully preserved; stresses, furthermore, that any changes to the mobilisation procedure must ensure that Parliament retains its oversight and decision-making powers;

9. Considers that the additional reporting requirements related to the estimate of assistance needed in the following year constitute an unnecessary additional administrative burden for the Member States, with limited usefulness in terms of reliable evidence-based decision-making;

10. Requests that the Commission take the appropriate coordination measures to ensure that assistance to workers threatened by restructuring events is provided from the most appropriate support instrument, depending on the specific circumstances and the national or regional programme architecture, and to avoid any risk of duplication and overlap, in particular between the EGF and the European Social Fund Plus, and to ensure that the additional nature of the support from the EGF is not undermined in these cases either; regrets that the EGF remains administratively burdensome, which has discouraged some Member States from using it altogether; underlines, in this regard, the Commission’s own mid-term evaluation, which found that 16 Member States consider the EU-level procedure lengthy and complex, and stresses the importance of addressing this, given that in some cases this constitutes the only barrier to applying for EGF support.
