"As always, I abstained on this vote for further mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund.
I cannot oppose funding by the European Union of measures aimed at individual training for laid-off workers, in this instance workers employed by shoe factories in Portugal.
Nonetheless, I cannot support the very principle of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund which, through sporadic interventions on specific companies and regions, and using strict criteria, serves to fund redundancy plans.
By doing this, it seems to me that the European Union is easing its conscience on the cheap, thereby justifying
the social consequences of its economic policy of deregulation.
Many workers across Europe have been hit hard by the crisis; they all deserve the European Union’s support and they are waiting for a social Europe to be created, one that ensures that workers’ rights are finally put before shareholders’ interests.
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund is of no use whatsoever and is by no means an appropriate solution to the crisis."@en1
