The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) has launched a new public consultation. We invite everyone interested on EU social inclusion matters and employment issues to answer the questionnaire before 16 September 2020.

The EGF supports people who have lost their jobs as a result of major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalization, or as a result of economic and financial crisis.

This public consultation will contribute to the evaluation of the EGF by finding out if there is a need for the EU to be providing this type of support, and whether it has actually helped the people who have benefited from it.

The main target group are (possible) beneficiaries of EGF measures, as well as other major stakeholders such as private sector bodies, public authorities, NGOs, the Academia, etc. However, we invite everyone to answer, whether they have previously heard about the existence of the EGF or not.

We need you to help the European Commission understand what works well and what does not, and how the general public perceives the existence of the EGF.

The public consultation is open until 16 September 2020.
