lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, in this Parliament, when we are discussing the effects of globalisation, we often hear certain countries expressing pride in having transferred manufacturing processes to third countries with cheap labour costs. However, the transfer of manufacturing processes has another side to the coin – the loss of jobs and prosperity of EU citizens. We can see the first sign of European solidarity with those becoming unemployed – Europe adapting to a Fund for the consequences of globalisation. According to the Regulation, the Fund’s money will be used in accordance with strict criteria, having regard to the scale of economic disruption and the effect on the local, regional or national economy. How is the scale of economic disruption to be determined? The Regulation suggests that aid be offered when job losses affect 1 000 employees; the EP suggests that in exceptional cases it could also be offered for 500 employees. However, in the small EU countries over 90% of enterprises are medium-sized or small, and over 90% of these are micro-enterprises. Therefore, in reality the aid will go to large enterprises in large countries. EGF aid is paid only once, but it should be tied to the creation of new employment opportunities in an endeavour to reintegrate workers into the employment market."@en1
