"Report on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council amending Regulation (EC) No 1927/2006 establishing the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. The global economic crisis that we have been experiencing since 2008 is having an even greater impact on our industries and our fellow citizens than globalisation. The European Union therefore had a duty to act as quickly as possible; it has done so by temporarily extending the scope of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund to address the consequences of the crisis. I welcome this. Three-quarters of the applications for assistance currently relate to the re-entry into employment or retraining of workers made redundant as a result of the crisis. Forty-five thousand workers have been able to receive this precious assistance. We could not conceive of stopping these efforts after 31 December 2011 as the current regulation envisaged. The economic crisis is continuing, it is affecting different countries and different people, and the European Union cannot and must not deprive them of support. In the hope, therefore, that the fund derogation measures will be maintained until 2013, we have sent a strong message aimed at a social Europe. Hence, I welcome the vote on Ms Berès’s resolution."@en1
