Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in the retail trade sector in Finland

This budgetary file concerns mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for redundancies in the retail trade sector in Finland. Amendments add provisions on dismissals at Finnish department store chains linked to e-commerce and changing shopping habits, the skills gap among older retail staff, the planned coaching, training, start-up grants and pay subsidies within the EGF Regulation's cost limits, consultations with trade unions, and prevention of double funding.
