EGF Mobilisation: Belgium (Caterpillar)

This procedure concerns the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF). The fund supports workers who have lost their jobs due to major structural changes in world trade patterns or the global financial and economic crisis. Belgium has applied for support following redundancies in the mechanical engineering sector.

This mobilisation will provide financial assistance to redundant workers in Belgium, helping them with retraining and finding new employment. The application follows job losses linked to the relocation of the Caterpillar company.
