Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in the manufacturing of machinery in Belgium

The dossier concerns mobilising the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for redundancies in the manufacturing of machinery in Belgium. The amendments note the EGF financial contribution and personalised redeployment services for redundant Caterpillar Belgium workers, link the redundancies to globalisation and changes in world trade, describe the difficult Charleroi region labour market with many low-skilled and long-term unemployed and older workers, and reference NEETs and the European Social Fund.
