The Committee on Budgets approves the Commission's proposal to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers for Spain, following 671 displacements in Galicia's automotive ancillary industry. It agrees Spain is entitled to EUR 2 725 100, which is 85% of the total cost of EUR 3 206 000, and that 400 displaced workers in Galicia will be the targeted beneficiaries. The personalised services include information and profiling, occupational guidance, training, job-search assistance, tutoring and financial support and incentives. The report calls on Spanish and regional authorities to ensure visibility of Union funding, address barriers facing older and less-qualified workers, and prioritise stable and quality employment. It calls on the Commission to strengthen outreach and technical assistance on the EGF, monitor employment in the European automotive sector, and develop targeted measures where necessary.
