Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers - EGF/2024/000 TA 2024 - Technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission

This decision approves the use of €165,000 from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for technical assistance. This funding supports the Commission's administrative and technical work in implementing the EGF, which helps workers affected by major restructuring events. The funding is for technical and administrative tasks related to the EGF's operation. This includes preparatory work, monitoring, control, audits, data gathering, IT systems, communication, and enhancing the fund's visibility. The amount represents approximately 0.49% of the EGF's maximum annual budget. It will cover activities like expert group meetings, networking seminars for implementing bodies and social partners, and the development of electronic data exchange systems for application processing. The European Parliament is to be systematically invited to these meetings and seminars. Member States are reminded of their role in publicising EGF-funded actions to beneficiaries, authorities, social partners, and the public.
