table>(1)The objectives of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) are to demonstrate solidarity and promote decent and sustainable employment in the Union by providing support for workers made redundant and self-employed persons whose activity has ceased in the case of major restructuring events and assisting them in returning to decent and sustainable employment as soon as possible.
(2)The EGF is not to exceed a maximum annual amount of EUR 186 000 000 (in 2018 prices), as laid down in Article 8 of Council Regulation (EU, Euratom) 2020/2093 (3).

(3)On 21 December 2021, Greece submitted an application to mobilise the EGF, in respect of workers’ displacements in the economic sector classified under the Statistical classification of economic activities in the European Community (‘NACE’) (4) Revision 2 division 27 (Manufacture of electrical equipment) in the Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics (‘NUTS’) (5) level 2 region of Attica (EL30) in Greece. It was supplemented by additional information provided in accordance with Article 8(5) of Regulation (EU) 2021/691. That application complies with the conditions for a financial contribution from the EGF as laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) 2021/691.

(4)The EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 1 495 830 in respect of the application submitted by Greece.

(5)In order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this decision should apply from the date of its adoption,
