Paragraph 2
2. Takes the view that the long-term increase in the number of applications for EGF funding and the difficulties experienced in implementing the EGF mobilisation and deployment procedure call for improvements to be made to the fund's procedural and budgetary arrangements at the earliest opportunity; calls, accordingly, on the Commission to bring the submission of its mid-term evaluation forward to 30 June 2011 and to submit at the same time a proposal for the revision of the EGF Regulation, in order to remedy the fund's most obvious shortcomings before the end of the current multiannual financial framework;

Paragraph 3
3. Calls on the Commission to evaluate the contributions granted with reference to, among other things: the assessment of skills upgrading of workers; the beneficiaries' re- integration into employment; the difference between the number of potential beneficiaries and the number of workers that have received support and possibly other reasons for explaining the large amounts of EGF assistance that were not implemented and, subsequently, paid back by the beneficiary Member States; the disparities between Member States in terms of the funding provided per worker and the reasons for those disparities; compliance with the non- discrimination criterion with reference to the contractual position of the workers made redundant; the procedures for consulting the social partners that were or were not used when preparing applications and the checks carried out on their implementation; the amount and execution rate of possible ESF financing that has been allocated to the same region as the EGF assistance; and the procedures for verifying the implementation of contributions and any repayments Member States are requested to make; calls on the Commission to reflect the findings of that evaluation in its proposal for the revision of the regulation;
