Proposal for a regulation
Recital 4 a (new)
(4a) In this context the EGF should take account of the countries with the greatest economic and social difficulties, where the largest number of businesses have closed down and there is most unemployment. In order to ensure that regions facing serious financial stability problems do not have fewer possibilities to access this fund by comparison with others, it should be possible for the rate of contribution to expenditure eligible under the EGF to be increased to 95% in regions eligible under the convergence objective and 85% of eligible expenditure in the remaining regions.
