"The requests for action by this fund have been successful. This instance involved responding to a request for assistance by Germany as a result of redundancies in the car industry, within the Karmann Group.
Before saying anything else, it is important to note that this fund can only partially alleviate some of the consequences of the serious economic and financial crisis, in view of the imposed budgetary restrictions (which limit it to EUR 500 million per year) and the restrictive eligibility criteria with which it operates. It has already been some time since the number of workers made redundant as a result of the so-called ‘restructurings’ significantly exceeded the initial estimates of the Commission regarding the number of workers who would come to benefit from the fund.
What is needed is a clear break with the neoliberal policies that are causing an economic and social disaster within the countries of the European Union before our very eyes. Obviously, responses to this disaster also need to be more than merely palliative. Neither can we omit to point out the injustice of a regulation which benefits countries with higher incomes to a greater extent, particularly those with higher levels of salaries and unemployment support.
We emphasise the urgent need for a real plan to support the production and creation of jobs with rights in the countries of the European Union."@en1
