document	COM(2015)397
date	October 6, 2015

table>(1)The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) aims 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, as a result of a continuation of the global financial and economic crisis, or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis, and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

(2)	The EGF is not to 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 (3).

(3)

On 24 March 2015, Italy submitted an application EGF/2015/004 IT/Alitalia for a financial contribution from the EGF, following redundancies in Gruppo Alitalia (4) in Italy. It was supplemented by additional information in accordance with Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. That 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 EUR 1 414 848 in respect of the application submitted by Italy.

(5)	In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this Decision should apply from the date of its adoption,
