(3) The Communication from the Commission to the European Parliament, the Council, the European Economic and Social Committee and the Committee of the Regions on ‘'A budget for Europe 2020’' recognises the role of the EGF as a flexible fund to support workers who lose their jobs and help them to find another job as rapidly as possibleredundant workers in finding and retaining new jobs. The Union should continue to provide, for the duration of the Multiannual Financial Framework from 1 January 2014 to 31 December 2020, specific, one-off support to facilitate the re- integration into employment of redundant workers in areas, sectors, territories or labour markets suffering the shock of serious economic disruption. Given its purpose, which is to provide support in situations of urgency and unexpected circumstances, the EGF should remain outside the Multiannual Financial Framework.

(9) Financial contributions from the EGF should be primarily directed at active labour market measures aimed atfacilitating long- term employment, which aim to rapidly reintegratinge redundant workers rapidly into employment, either within or outside their initial sector of activity, including the agricultural sector. The inclusion of pecuniary allowances in a coordinated package of personalised services should therefore be restricted, in addition to other measures that are the responsibility of Member States or companies by virtue of national law or collective agreements.
