EGF gives Spanish textile workers a boost

01/11/2010
The European Commission has approved two applications from Spain for assistance from the EU Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF). A total of EUR3.5 million will help 350 redundant workers from the textile industry and 300 workers from the construction sector to find new jobs. The EFG package will provide textile workers with training, entrepreneurial support, job-search assistance, allowances and incentives.
"All these redundancies occurred in the Spanish province of Alicante in sectors that are not linked, which proves that the impact of the financial and economic crisis on employment is ever more widespread," said EU commissioner for employment, social affairs and inclusionm László Andor. "The EGF is one of the ways the EU can help redundant workers back into work and I am confident these workers will benefit from the training support the fund can provide."
