Paragraph 5 a (new)
Paragraph 5 a (new)
5a. Notes the high level of EGF support returned to the EU budget (50,2%) as well as the low number of applicants (10 Member States in 2013-2014) and applications (30 applications in 2013- 2014) and therefore calls for a thorough assessment of expectations of those Member States applying for EGF support as well as for reflections on the reasons preventing Member States from applying despite existing needs, and on possible options for adapting the eligibility thresholds;
