Regulation (EU) 2021/691 established the EGF for the period of the multiannual financial framework 2021-2027. In order to make the EGF more responsive to the rapidly changing economic challenges in a globalised economy, the scope of the EGF was broadened again to cover any type of large-scale restructuring event, regardless of its cause. A lower threshold for support than that provided for in Regulation (EU) No 1309/2013 was introduced to better reflect the realities in lesser populated regions. In the light of the twin digital and green transition, measures that prepare beneficiaries for that transition were considered mandatory elements of every coordinated package of personalised services (the coordinated package) offered to beneficiaries. Furthermore, the co-financing rates were aligned with the highest co-financing rate of the European Social Fund Plus (ESF+) established by Regulation (EU) 2021/1057 of the European Parliament and of the Council in the Member State concerned. Additionally, a mandatory beneficiary survey was introduced.
