table>(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 (4), 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 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)

On 18 June 2014 Italy submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of redundancies in Whirlpool Europe S.r.l. and five suppliers and downstream producers in Italy, 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 1 890 000 for the application submitted by Italy,
