"In March 2007, France requested the mobilisation of the EGF in respect of the redundancies of 1 345 workers of Renault SA and 1 057 workers of Peugeot SA and their suppliers.
Owing to the budgetary restrictions on this fund (EUR 500 million a year), its restrictive eligibility criteria and the number of workers affected, the amount of the Community contribution awarded was EUR 3 816 280. Thus we can see that this comes to EUR 1 902 for each of the Renault-linked workers made redundant and EUR 1 190 for each of the Peugeot-linked workers made redundant.
The European Commission estimated that between 35 000 and 50 000 workers could benefit from this fund, but EU data indicate that the number of workers made redundant as a result of ‘restructuring’ is far in excess of half a million. The situation is all the more serious as most of these workers were made redundant as a result of ‘restructuring’ regarded as ‘within’ the EU, and therefore not covered by the fund’s eligibility criteria.
What is in fact required is an end to the policy of liberalisation and maximising profit that is the cause of relocations and “restructuring”, and measures to preserve jobs."@en1
