lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I voted in favour of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund’s (EGF) investment of nearly EUR 5.6 million in Germany’s North Rhine-Westphalia region, which has suffered from mass redundancies since the 1990’s. As a result of the Finnish telecommunications company Nokia closing its production plant in Bochum in 2008 and relocating to more cost effective market areas, 2 300 more people in the region were made redundant. Being a Finn, I take a special interest in the plight of the workers who have lost their jobs due to the cessation of Nokia production in Bochum. The closure of the Nokia plant in Bochum was indeed the latest in a string of events compounding unemployment in the region. For this reason, I wholeheartedly welcome the investment from EGF in the region as a way of improving employment opportunities for the people of North Rhine-Westphalia."@en1
