During the March 25–26, 2026 voting block, the European Parliament addressed support measures in the automotive sector, focusing on the social impacts of industrial change. The main legislative action was the approval of funding from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers, specifically in response to an application from Austria related to job losses at KTM. This decision reflects the Parliament’s ongoing attention to mitigating the effects of globalisation and restructuring within the European automotive industry, with targeted support for affected workers in Austria. The vote underscores the EU’s commitment to social safety nets in regions facing economic disruption due to shifts in the automotive sector.
REPORT on the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers following an application from Austria – EGF/2025/005 AT/KTM
This decision authorises financial support from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund for Displaced Workers (EGF) in response to Austria’s application concerning layoffs at KTM, a major motorcycle manufacturer. The EGF provides targeted assistance to workers who lose their jobs due to major structural changes in world trade patterns or economic crises, aiming to facilitate their reintegration into the labour market. The measure reflects ongoing EU efforts to cushion the social impact of industrial restructuring in the automotive sector, which faces pressures from global competition and technological change.
