"Mr President, the crisis that the European Union is experiencing has had serious consequences in each of the Member States, and thousands of workers have been affected by redundancies caused by globalisation and the crisis itself. We must show our solidarity with these workers who have lost their jobs, and emphasise that Europe needs to help the Member States to maintain a high employment rate and to combat unemployment. The rapid reintegration of workers into the labour market is a priority. My country, Portugal, is an example of a country which has benefited from this fund; it has applied to it four times for assistance. We are aware, however, that access to the fund could be improved, especially in the countries worst affected by the crisis. Thanks to the existence of the Globalisation Adjustment Fund, it has been possible to help thousands of workers by means of professional training methods, support for business start-ups and incentives for recruitment. This proposal is positive because it will enable the Member States to call for the fund to be activated to support workers who have been made redundant as a direct result of the economic and financial crisis. We support the extension of the period and we believe that the Member States that are most affected by the crisis should have greater and easier access to this fund, which offers support in the face of globalisation and the crisis."@en1
