Press Release: Employment: Commission proposes one million euros from Globalisation Fund to help redundant workers in the metal sector in Spain

The European Commission proposed on the 12 August 2014 to provide Spain with €1,019,184 from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help 300 workers made redundant in the metal sector in the Comunidad Valenciana region to find new jobs.
