"The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was established in order to support measures for the workers worst affected by mass redundancies in the EU caused by globalisation or the financial and economic crisis, with the aim of supporting their return to the labour market. It was designed as a rapid intervention instrument for cases of mass redundancy, with the aim of avoiding long-term unemployment in difficult labour market conditions. Its original aim as an instrument was to mitigate as quickly as possible the pressing and unforeseen problems on the labour market caused by the laying off of large numbers of workers, whether from big firms or from small enterprises operating in a specific sector and a specific region. I also consider it important to emphasise that, in future, most of the attention should go to sustainable labour market measures, and that we should endeavour to create the conditions for Member States to make use of the EGF to fulfil European objectives and promote new skills, including skills connected with new, sustainable and high-quality ‘green’ jobs. The EGF should also continue to finance only those active labour market measures which supplement the measures under national legislation for cases of mass redundancy, and it would be a good idea, in my opinion, for the Commission to follow the implementation process more closely, in order to ensure that the measures are equally useful to all workers."@en1
