(1) The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established 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 addressed in Regulation (EC) No 546/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council , or as a result of a new global financial and economic crisis and to assist them with their reintegration into the labour market.

(2) Article 12 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013 allows the mobilisation of the EGF within a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices).

(3) Greece submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 46 enterprises operating in the NACE Rev. 2 division 58 (publishing activities) in the NUTS 2 level region of Attica (EL 30) in Greece, on 4 September 2014 and supplemented it by additional information as provided by Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. This 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 an amount of EUR 3 746 700 for the application submitted by Greece,
