The Committee on Budgets will vote on a proposal to mobilise the EGF for €2.2 million to support 603 dismissed workers from Logistics Nivelles in Belgium. The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) aims to provide support to people losing their jobs as a result of globalisation and of technological and environmental changes.

The COVID-19 pandemic and the Russian war of aggression against Ukraine have reduced economic competitiveness and have a negative impact on economic growth in Belgium.

The rapporteur for the file is Eleni Stavrou (EPP).
