Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: EGF/2016/000 TA 2016/Technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission (A8-0078/2016 - Andrey Novakov)

  Cătălin Sorin Ivan (S&D), in writing. ‒ The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund was formed to support people losing their jobs as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation. For the 2016 the provided EGF contribution for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission of EUR 380 000 is intended to cover different activities as monitoring and data gathering, information, creation of knowledge base, administrative and technical support, as well as audit, evaluation and control activities. I have voted in favour for this report taking into consideration that these financed activities should improve the simplification of the application procedure and its visibility.
