Parliament considered a proposal to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) for Belgium, following displacements at Cora SA and one supplier, to fund measures such as outplacement, training, skills certification and support for business creation. Parliament agreed with the Commission that the conditions of the EGF Regulation are met and that Belgium is entitled to a financial contribution of EUR 3 821 460, which is 85 % of the total cost of EUR 4 495 836. The contribution is to support the reintegration into the labour market of 1 010 targeted beneficiaries, and the Commission is to transfer the amount from the EGF reserve to the EGF budget line. Parliament stressed the importance of shortening the time between an application and the financing decision, and the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs called for the measures to focus on active labour market policy and personalised services.
