The European Commission Tuesday proposed over 30 million euros (about 37.5 million dollars) from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help redundant workers from Poland, Greece and France to find new jobs.

The Commission said in a statement it has proposed to provide 25.9 million euros to help 3,886 former workers of Air France to find new jobs, while 6.4 million euros and 1.2 million euros respectively to help workers in Greece and Poland who are made redundant by their former employer, Xinhua reported.

"Many sectors and industries in Europe are going through major structural changes, as a consequence of globalization," Marianne Thyssen, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs, Skills and Labour Mobility, commented in a statement.

 

"The European Globalisation Fund is a concrete expression of European solidarity. It will continue to help Member States to re- integrate people who have lost their job into the labor market and support them to adapt their skills," said Thyssen.
