(2) | The scope of the EGF was broadened for applications submitted from 1 May 2009 to include support for workers made redundant as a result of the global financial and economic crisis. |
(3) | The Interinstitutional Agreement of 17 May 2006 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within the annual ceiling of EUR 500 million. |
(4) | Belgium submitted two applications to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the textiles sector, on 5 May 2009. These applications comply with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 9 198 874. |
(5) | Ireland submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the computer manufacturing industry, on 29 June 2009. This application complies with the requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006, therefore the Commission proposes to deploy an amount of EUR 14 831 050. |
(6) | The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the applications submitted by Belgium and Ireland, |
