Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in the mobile phone sector in Finland

This budget dossier concerns the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for redundancies in the mobile phone sector in Finland. Amendments regret the lengthy evaluation period and that the redundancies stem from Nokia moving production and development to Asia, recall earlier EGF assistance linked to Nokia, welcome the early start of personalised services, and highlight a start-up matching service and a focus on training and entrepreneurship.
