lpv:translated text	". Martin Schultz is undoubtedly right to say that the social package could have been stronger. The Commission should have produced the package sooner so that we could have dealt with this important matter, not as the elections approach but sooner, when there was time to weigh up all the nuances of this important package carefully, and it is undoubtedly important. Among other things, I would like to pick out the Commission communication on the European Globalisation Fund. Although it has provided assistance to several thousand people in, for example, Germany, France, Portugal and Finland, the survey for 2007 shows that a fairly large proportion of the Fund was not used. Textile workers in Lithuania received compensation from the EGF in August. This is a good sign that the new Member States too can successfully seek assistance to help with the changes globalisation requires. The Commission will soon investigate the criteria on which decisions to grant assistance are based. I would like to stress that in small countries like Estonia many businesses have had to lay off hundreds of people because of globalisation. Simplifying the process of applying for EGF assistance would undoubtedly make it possible for assistance for those people to be simplified too."@en1
