"Six more applications have been made to mobilise the Solidarity Fund, corresponding to the closure of hundreds more companies in Europe. Altogether, more than 3 000 workers have been made redundant. Initial estimates as to the number of people who would benefit from the fund at the time of its creation have long been exceeded. Above and beyond the systematic mobilisation of this instrument, 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. Palliatives are indeed needed for the disaster, but the causes need to be addressed first of all.
Every new application to mobilise this fund increases the urgency of the measures that we have been advocating, which are aimed at fighting unemployment effectively, boosting economic activity, eradicating jobs with no security, and reducing working hours without cutting pay. These are measures that also combat the relocation of companies. Finally, as on other occasions, we cannot omit to point out the injustice of a regulation that offers greater benefit to countries with higher incomes, particularly those with higher levels of salaries and unemployment support."@en1
