added: 2009-07-31
10,000 workers were helped by the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) last year and of these, more than two-thirds found a new job, according to a report adopted by the European Commission. The second annual report on the EGF shows an increasing uptake of the funds by EU countries for measures to support workers dismissed as a result of globalisation. It also reports on the outcome of the first EGF contributions in terms of helping the redundant workers into new jobs.
