Press Release: Car workers in Austria to get help from EU Globalisation Fund

On 21 October the European Commission approved an application from Austria for assistance under the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF). The application will now be sent to the European Parliament and the Council who have to approve the release of the funds. The application – for €5,706 635 – was submitted after 744 employees were made redundant from nine manufacturers of motor vehicles, trailers and semi-trailers located in the Austrian region of Styria.
