lpv:translated text	"The situation to which previous speakers have alluded is very real for the workers of General Motors in Portugal. It is also, unfortunately a familiar story in recent times in the EU, as has been mentioned in this Chamber before. Businesses receive Community and State aid and incentives to set up in a given region and country, and then relocate, flying in the face of the rules of conduct in place, without any compunction or respect for the hundreds or thousands of workers, and often whole families, who are laid off at the drop of a hat. The easy quest for maximum profits and the phenomenon of globalisation cannot justify the economic and social tragedy of the weakest links in the business chain. Commissioner, the Globalisation Adjustment Fund, adopted at the December European Council, has neither the remit nor the capacity to prevent all of the situations that have arisen in Europe. This is an international fund geared towards a small number of redundancies and countries on account of the changes happening in world trade. More needs to be done. For this to happen, the EU must define clearly the plan of action that should be pursued by manufacturing companies in Europe and those businesses seeking to reach this market of 455 million consumers with their products. In order for us to be in a position to set an example to the world, we have to begin to demand compliance with the European social model and respect for human rights, and to do this differently."@en1
