The European Commission proposed a to provide Aragon (Spain) with €1.3 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help 320 redundant workers in the construction sector with their re-integration into the labour market. On the other hand, €1.6 million from the EGF will help workers in the region of Comunidad Valenciana.

€1.3 million from Globalisation Fund has been proposed by the European Commission for Spanish workers in Aragón. In particular, if approved, the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) will help 320 redundant workers in the construction sector with their re-integration into the labour market. The proposal now goes to the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers for their approval. In October 2011, MEPs proposed to extend European Globalisation Adjustment Fund crisis measures until end of 2013.

The Commission stressed that the package aims to help the workers by offering them vocational education, one-on-one counselling, skills assessment and coaching; entrepreneurship courses and on-going advice and mentoring for entrepreneurs; job-search allowances and outplacement incentives, and other necessary subsistence allowances.

On the other hand, the European Commission has made a payment to Spain from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund of €1.6 million to help 1,138 former construction workers in the region of Comunidad Valenciana back into employment. This payment follows approval by the European Parliament and the EU's Council of Ministers on 19 April 2012.
