Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in aluminium production in the Netherlands

This dossier concerns mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for redundancies in aluminium production in the Netherlands. The amendments welcome the Dutch Government's application while noting its opposition to the crisis derogation, regret the lengthy evaluation period and lack of labour-market data, welcome social-partner involvement via the Mobility Center Zalco and support for active labour measures, and call for faster EGF mobilisation procedures.
