# Netherlands - Bidjè Deputy tounen € 1.2m nan èd pou chèche travay pou 450 travayè redondants

It is the first time that funds from the Ewopeyen globalizasyon Ajisteman Fon (EGF) would be made available to workers made redundant in the financial services sector, according to the European Commission. The beneficiaries are the 450 most disadvantaged workers, not the banks.

The majority of the workers who lost their jobs are women (59%) with low or average education levels, such as administrative personnel and receptionists. 27% of the redundant workers are over 55 years old, says the rapò bouyon by MEP Ivana Maletić (EPP, HR).

According to the application, the redundancies are linked to the global financial and economic crisis and its impact on the services and functioning of the Dutch banks. Banks had to reduce their staff, mainly by closing regional branch offices (50% of the branch offices disappeared in 2004-2014) and transforming towards online banking.

Unemployment in all the three regions where the redundancies occurred is higher than the 5.4% national average (in Friesland it is 10.8 %, in Drenthe 7% and in Overijssel 6.3%).

Jounal rapò bouyon by Ivana Maletić (EPP, HR), recommending that Parliament approve the aid, was passed by the Budgets Committee on Tuesday by 26 votes to three against, with no abstentions.
