lpv:translated text	". − In 2006 I fought hard for the establishment of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. When it was approved, I made a speech to the House in which I said that this decision had a political angle: for the first time, the three European institutions – the Council, the Commission and Parliament – had acknowledged the existence of the negative aspects of globalisation, which was why workers affected by company closures due to globalisation should be financially supported. I believed that this was a way for the European Union to show its presence on the ground among those suffering from redundancies due to the closure of companies, as has happened in Portugal with Opel, Johnson and Alcoa Fujikara. These are often dramatic situations, which is why the European Parliament’s decision to make available to these workers nearly EUR 2.5 million may help to alleviate their current anxieties. When people are worried and fearful, it is difficult to accept change. These payments decided today and destined for these Portuguese workers are not a miracle solution but are definitely a way of helping them to have more confidence in themselves so that, with this support from the European Union, they can find reasons to smile again."@en1
