"I fully support the two reports by Reimer Böge that have been adopted by Parliament on financial support for redundant workers in Lithuania from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, and I am grateful to other colleagues who supported them. Unfortunately, I was late for this vote because on my way to the plenary chamber, the lift was not working.
Both reports – on the situation in the construction sector and on the company Snaigė – represent the most acute unemployment cases in Lithuania. The EU financial support will alleviate the hardships Lithuanian workers are facing.
The construction sector is one of the hardest hit in Lithuania. Now more than a hundred companies have been forced into bankruptcy. The EUR 1.1 million will target almost 1 000 workers in this highly sensitive and hard-hit sector.
The situation is very similar with Snaigė – the support of EUR 258 000 from the EGF would target 650 redundancies in a city that has one of the highest unemployment rates – nearing 20% now.
Even though this might be only the tip of the iceberg of the unemployment problem in Lithuania, the financial support will help those in most need."@en1
