On 4 May 2016, the European Commission proposed to provide Belgium with €1.8 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help 488 workers made redundant by several manufacturers of construction machinery in the province of Hainaut (Wallonia, Belgium). The aim of the funding was to help these former workers to find new jobs. 300 young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs) were also included in the actions planned. The proposal went to the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers for approval.
