It was supplemented by additional information provided in accordance with Article 8(3) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013. That application complies with the requirements for determining a financial contribution from the EGF laid down in Article 13 of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013.\n(4)\nIn accordance with Article 6(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013, Belgium has decided to provide personalised services co-financed by the EGF also to 300 young people not in employment, education or training (NEETs).\n(5)\nIn accordance with Article 4(2) of Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013, the application from Belgium is considered admissible since the redundancies have a serious impact on employment and the local, regional and national economy.\n(6)\nThe EGF should, therefore, be mobilised in order to provide a financial contribution of EUR 1 824 041 in respect of the application submitted by Belgium.\n(7)\nIn order to minimise the time taken to mobilise the EGF, this decision should apply from the date of its adoption,\nHAVE ADOPTED THIS DECISION:",
