(2)The EGF shall not exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 150 million (2011 prices), as laid down in Article 12 of Regulation (EU, Euratom) No 1311/2013.

(3)The Netherlands submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in 89 enterprises operating in the NACE Revision 2 Division 41 (Construction of buildings) (4) in the NUTS 2 level contiguous regions of Gelderland and Overijssel, on 20 February 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 1 625 781 for the application submitted by the Netherlands,
