"The decision to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for Portugal is aimed at supporting the reintegration into the labour market of workers made redundant, at a total amount of EUR 1 449 500, for 974 redundancies, 680 of whom are targeted for assistance.
The Portuguese Government submitted the application to the Commission at the end of 2010. The document mentions that the company was bought in an attempt to save Rohde, and the factory in Portugal was supposed to remain in production. However, workers began to be made redundant, and orders from the parent company declined, which affected the situation of the Rohde factory based in Santa Maria da Feira, Portugal, and as a result, insolvency proceedings started in September 2009, leading to the eventual closure of the factory and the dismissal of the workers.
When we assessed this proposal in the Working Group of the Committee on Employment and Social Affairs, of which I am a member, I highlighted the injustice of the fact that this mobilisation for Portugal amounts to only EUR 1.4 million, whereas in identical situations EUR 3.9 million were mobilised for Denmark, and approximately EUR 4.4 million for Germany.
Although we are voting in favour of all of them so as not to harm the workers involved, we have once again flagged up the deeply unfair criteria of the EGF."@en1
