Procedure

Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers following an application from Belgium - EGF/2025/007 BE/Casa

2026/0038(BUD)·10th term·BUDG·BUD

Summary

Amendments to the decision on mobilising the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund following an application from Belgium relating to Casa. They note that Casa filed for bankruptcy on 6 March 2025 and that rising bankruptcies, e-commerce and international competition drove displacement, mostly affecting women in low-wage retail jobs. Competing amendments either approve or reject the decision, and either agree that Belgium is entitled to a financial contribution of EUR 1 916 733 representing 85% of the total cost of EUR 2 254 980, or consider the mobilisation unjustified under subsidiarity. Others call for impact and cost-benefit evaluations and describe the personalised reintegration services for displaced workers.

In plenary, Parliament usually votes in steps: first on amendments to the text (sometimes split into parts, so Members can accept one half of a sentence and reject the other), then on the text as a whole. The “main vote” is the one that adopts or rejects the text itself. Each vote below shows exactly which step it was. How voting works →
