The European Commission has proposed to mobilise €2 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to support 803 workers who lost their jobs when Belgian high‑tech car‑glass maker Soliver went bankrupt on 1 July 2025. The fund would cover training, career counselling, job‑search assistance, and recruitment events, with the Commission covering 85 % (€2.1 million) and Flemish public employment services covering 15 % (€400,000). Belgian authorities began helping the workers in June 2025, and the EGF can reimburse these costs retroactively. The proposal must be approved by the European Parliament and the Council. The EGF has previously assisted 184,818 workers across 20 Member States since 2007.
