NON-LEGISLATIVE ACT: Decision (EU) 2026/454 of the European Parliament and of the Council on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers following an application from Belgium – EGF/2025/006 BE/Audi.

CONTENT: The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) aims to demonstrate solidarity and promote decent and sustainable employment in the Union by providing support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major restructuring events, and by assisting them in returning to decent and sustainable employment as soon as possible.

The annual allocation to the EGF is not to exceed EUR 30 million (in 2018 prices), as provided for in the relevant EU regulations.

On 18 September 2025, Belgium submitted an application for EGF support concerning redundancies at Audi Brussels S.A.: n.V. and five of its suppliers and downstream producers. The application was supplemented with additional information and was found to meet the conditions for a financial contribution from the EGF, as set out in Regulation (EU) 2021/691.

The EGF is therefore mobilised to provide a financial contribution of EUR 7 527 625 in commitment and payment appropriations in response to the application submitted by Belgium.
