Final reports on the S R Technics and Waterford Crystal EGF programmes were submitted to the European Commission on 5 April 2012 and 6 February 2012 respectively as required under the EGF Regulations. Final reports on the three EGF programmes in support of redundant workers in the construction industry subsectors NACE 41, 43 and 71 are required to be submitted to the Commission by 9 December 2012.

The European Commission has up to six months following the receipt of all requisite information from a Member State to wind up the financial contribution from the EGF. Following the formal closure of these EGF programmes by the European Commission, the final reports will be made publicly available.
