Parliament's amended version of the proposed regulation amends Regulation (EU) 2021/691 to support workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring. It extends the scope of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund to cover workers facing imminent job displacement, not just those already dismissed.

Key points

  1. The regulation amends Regulation (EU) 2021/691 to include support for workers affected by imminent job displacement in enterprises undergoing restructuring.
  2. It defines 'imminent job displacement' and sets conditions for when workers are considered affected.
  3. It allows applications for Fund support to be made before actual dismissals occur, under certain conditions.
  4. It specifies the types of measures that can be funded, including training, job-search assistance, and entrepreneurship support.
  5. It requires member states to provide information and assistance to workers affected by imminent displacement.
  6. It sets out procedures for the submission and assessment of applications, including deadlines and documentation requirements.
  7. It ensures coordination with other EU funds and avoids double funding.
  8. It includes provisions for monitoring and reporting on the use of Fund resources.

Who is affected

  • Workers in enterprises undergoing restructuring who face imminent job displacement.
  • Enterprises undergoing restructuring that may apply for Fund support on behalf of workers.
  • Member states, which are responsible for submitting applications and implementing measures.
