This draft report concerns the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission, proposing to approve the use of EUR 170 000 for administrative and technical expenditure in 2025. It welcomes the Commission's measures, including expert group meetings, a networking seminar, information activities, work on the electronic data exchange system, and data gathering, and calls for continued parliamentary involvement and increased visibility of the EGF.

Committee position. The rapporteur proposes that Parliament approve the mobilisation of EUR 170 000 for technical assistance, as annexed to the resolution.

Key points
