"I voted in favour of the Berès report, which seeks to extend the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund until the end of 2013. This extension is intended to help workers who have been made redundant as a result of the current crisis. I am more sceptical about the resolution on the future of this fund. Admittedly, its existence proves that the Union may be aware that globalisation destroys jobs in Europe, even though it underestimates the problem and does so for propaganda reasons.
I regularly vote in favour of granting aid from this fund because it is intended for workers rather than businesses, and because it is, in a way, nothing less than a fitting, albeit insufficient, contribution by the Union towards repairing the damage that it causes.
However, the fund should only be a temporary form of aid while we await radical changes in policy objectives, and in the objectives of EU trade policy in particular. The fact is, this is not the case; if anything, it is the opposite. This being so, the proposal to make the fund permanent, whether in the form of a new structural fund or in the form of a dedicated budget line, is, in my view, both absurd and demagogic."@en1
