The tyre company Goodyear closed its Fulda plant and cut production in Hanau, leading to the loss of hundreds of jobs. Germany's request for assistance through the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) has resulted in a proposal to finance compensation measures - 60% of the total cost (over €3 million) to be covered by the EU.

The support includes: counselling services, retraining, job search support, assistance in setting up their own business and participation in job fairs or company visits. The aim is to mitigate the impact of structural change on the local labour market.
