THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND THE COUNCIL OF THE EUROPEAN UNION,

Having regard to the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union,

Having regard to Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 December 2013 on the European                           Globalisation Adjustment Fund (2014-2020) and repealing Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006(1), and in particular Article 15(4) thereof,                        

Having regard to Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework                           for the years 2014-2020(2), and in particular Article 12 thereof,                        

Having regard to the Interinstitutional Agreement between the European Parliament, the Council and the Commission of 2 December                           2013 on budgetary discipline, on cooperation in budgetary matters and on sound financial management(3), and in particular point 13 thereof,                        

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide support for workers made redundant and self-employed                              persons whose activity has ceased as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and                              to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

(2)The EGF shall not exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Regulation                              (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013.

(3)The Netherlands submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 89 enterprises operating in the                              NACE Revision 2 Division 41 (Construction of buildings)(4) in the NUTS 2 level contiguous regions of Gelderland and Overijssel, on 20 February 2014 and supplemented it by additional                              information as provided by Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. This application complies with the requirements for                              determining a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.

(4)The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of an amount of EUR 1 625 781 for the                              application submitted by the Netherlands,
