   ▸ AIAI: What changed Written by AI from the official text — check the source

   Extends EGF support to workers in enterprises undergoing restructuring, including suppliers and downstream producers, with a focus on SMEs and disadvantaged groups. Adds flexibility for applications in small labour markets and exceptional cases, with a 15% cap and a 40% budget reservation for displaced workers. Strengthens social partner involvement and consultation, and extends the deadline for enterprise requests to four weeks. Adds reporting and assessment requirements, including a 20-working-day extension for Commission assessments and new reporting on beneficiary outcomes. The other changes are formal: a budgetary assessment is added as an annex.
