"With this report, Parliament is giving the green light to a proposal to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF), whose purpose is also to benefit Ireland by supporting the reintegration of workers made redundant as a result of the economic and financial crisis. It relates to 4 866 redundancies, 3 205 of which are targeted for assistance, in 1 482 enterprises operating in Division 41 (‘construction of buildings’) in two contiguous regions, which comprise the entire Republic of Ireland. No matter how many of these applications there are, we are bound to express our regret that, in each case, much could and should have been done to prevent them.
Once again, although we support the mobilisation of the EGF to help workers who have been made redundant, we would stress that this is a mere palliative that does not solve, as is necessary, the root causes of this wave of redundancies. These causes are inextricably linked to the policies of the EU, which is bringing the crisis upon itself, as we have been saying for a long time. It is imperative that these policies be changed to prioritise growth and development and job creation, rather than the irrational criteria of the Stability and Growth Pact."@en1
