The Commission proposed to adopt a decision to mobilize the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) in favour of Belgium to support the reintegration in the labour market of 2 397 workers no longer active at Van Hool, due to the company's bankruptcy. The Commission proposed to mobilise EUR 7 999 015 for Belgium, representing 85 % of the total costs of the proposed actions for reintegration.
In his draft report, the rapporteur Janusz Lewandowski (EPP) agrees with the Commission on the eligibility of the demand put forward by Belgium and therefore proposes to adopt the decision to mobilise the EGF.
