Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in the ICT sector in Italy

A report on mobilising the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for redundancies in the ICT sector in Italy. Amendments note the lengthy 18-month evaluation period of the Italian application, the structural challenges of the Lombardia region, low budget-implementation and participation rates in earlier Italian EGF cases, the use of national wage-compensation funds (CIG), the coordinated package of personalised services such as career advice, mentoring and self-employment support, and the Council's position on the crisis mobilisation criterion for 2014-2020.
