"I voted in favour of this resolution in order to emphasise the importance of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) as a tool, while acknowledging the necessary reforms that it will have to undergo over the next few years. While, in 2009, the EGF was able to help some 40% of the workers concerned to re-enter the labour market, in a difficult economic climate, we should consider the fact that it is, in a way, a very convenient remedy for the lack of a European industrial strategy and for the social damage caused by the relocation of large multinationals which, in the end, often emerge from the difficulties they encounter in a very strong position. That being the case, we must insist that the social partners and the local authorities be closely involved in the application procedure and play a part in monitoring the implementation and assessment of the results on behalf of workers. Lastly, in the future, the EGF should be integrated into a European framework for anticipating and managing restructuring exercises and should emphasise the social responsibility of multinational companies, which seldom fail to exploit this type of instrument in order to reduce the costs of a restructuring exercise that they alone have decided."@en1
