Between 2007 and 2008 Italy submitted applications in respect of redundancies in Sardinia (1 044 redundancies, 5 companies), Piedmont (1 537, 202), Lombardy (1 816, 190) and Tuscany (1 588, 461), following liberalisation in the textile and clothing sector. For a total of 5 985 redundancies in 858 companies, Italy is requesting a financial contribution of EUR 38 158 075.
As we have said before, this Fund cannot be used as a temporary ‘cushion’ for unacceptable socioeconomic costs resulting from the liberalisation of trade, particularly in the textile and clothing sector, and for the increasing insecurity of workers.
Given the (potential) expiry on 31 December 2008 of the double-checking surveillance system for exports of certain categories of textile and clothing products from China, we need to establish mechanisms limiting imports from any country to the EU.
Given the increasing number of companies closing down or relocating their production, the rise in unemployment and the increased exploitation of workers – particularly in Portugal – we need to halt the policy of liberalising world trade (instigated by the EU and the Socialist Government in Portugal) and defend production and employment with rights in the various EU countries."@en1
