Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in the automotive industry in Belgium

This dossier concerns mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for redundancies in the automotive industry in Belgium. The amendments note the Commission's conclusion that the application fulfils the EGF eligibility criteria, express doubt that the redundancies at General Motors Belgium were solely caused by the global financial crisis and therefore unpredictable, and compare the intervention criteria of the original and revised EGF Regulation.
