The Committee on Budgets adopted a proposal to mobilise the EGF for €3.7 million to support 297 dismissed workers from Airbus in the Occitanie and Pays de la Loire regions in France. 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 pandemic had a significant impact on the aviation sector in Europe, leading to these displacements. The EGF will finance measures to support the return to employment of the dismissed workers.

The Rapporteur for the file is Valérie Hayer (Renew, France). The presentation of the file took place on 13 January.
