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 (EC) No 1927/2006 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 20 December 2006 establishing                           the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund(1), and in particular Article 12(3) thereof,

Having regard to the proposal from the European Commission,

Whereas:

(1)The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established to provide additional support for workers made redundant                              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 Council Regulation                              (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 of 2 December 2013 laying down the multiannual financial framework for the years 2014-2020(3).

(3)Belgium submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in the enterprise Saint-Gobain Sekurit Benelux                              SA, on 19 December 2013 and supplemented it by additional information up to 4 July 2014. This application complies with the                              requirements for determining the financial contributions as laid down in Article 10 of Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006. The Commission                              therefore proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 1 339 928.

(4)The EGF should therefore be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution for the application submitted by Belgium,
