"Parliament has approved the mobilisation of EUR 1.4 million in order to support the workers made redundant from Rohde, a footwear company based in Santa Maria da Feira, a region with an unemployment level above the national average. Following bankruptcy proceedings that were dubious, to say the least, 974 workers, 87% of them women, were targeted for mass redundancy. I voted in favour. The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund cannot prevent redundancies or bankruptcy, but it does enable greater support to be given to the victims of mass redundancies. Approving this support is an important sign of the opposition to policies that seek to eliminate social rights and facilitate redundancies. However, I regret the slowness of the whole process. The aid will finally be released 17 months after the first redundancies. I also wish that the programme had covered more measures in the areas of education and training, as 78.5% of the workers are poorly qualified, since they did not complete compulsory education."@en1
