"Mr President, Commissioner, on Mr Daerden’s behalf, I would like to thank you for your reply. Naturally, we will support any initiatives that help speed up procedures when these are aimed at helping workers who have been made redundant due to globalisation or to the economic crisis.
We simply wished to draw your attention to two particular problems. The first is that the purpose of supporting workers should remain the number one priority. This means that as the procedures are revised, we will oppose the idea of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) becoming just another instrument, for example, an instrument of the cohesion policy, because that would mean that all the EU’s money apart from funds put aside for foreign policy or research and development would belong to the cohesion policy. We have specific aims to pursue and we need these resources. The EGF is among them.
We are also asking you to coordinate management of the EGF, in collaboration with your fellow commissioners, with other policies that have an impact in this area, for example, in the field of competition or industrial policy."@en1
