The EU has for a long time taken political measures to cope with restructuring within different sectors. This report contains some constructive proposed changes to these measures whereby, for example, resources paid out from Community funds would be monitored more efficiently and such funds not used for relocation within the EU.
The June List’s basic attitude is that the consequences of relocation and restructuring are a matter for the individual nations. We do not believe that the EU should take measures to ensure that companies accept liability for such consequences. Important issues of this kind must be decided on in the Member States.
The European Parliament wishes, among other things:
to establish criteria governing the conditions under which it shall be permitted to carry out restructuring (in order to save jobs and increase competitiveness and not purely, for example, for the purpose of making a profit);
to set up a special ‘growth adjustment’ fund;
to have the EU accept responsibility for the ‘hidden effects’ of restructuring, such as the consequences for workers’ health, psychological problems among workers and increased mortality among those who are dismissed;
to bring about equity participation by employees so that they might then participate in decisions concerning restructuring;
and to take a dim view of Member States’ requiring workers to take early retirement as a consequence of restructuring.
No matter what political views are taken in relation to the aforesaid issues, they are issues to be dealt with by the individual nations. We have thus chosen to vote against this report."@en1
