"The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) was created in order to provide additional assistance to workers suffering from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns. On 22 September 2011 the Commission adopted a new proposal for a decision on the mobilisation of the EGF in favour of Austria in order to support the reintegration into the labour market of workers made redundant due to the global financial and economic crisis. I welcomed this document because this particular case concerns the 30-50% decrease in freight business in Austria in July 2009. For lorries with an authorised total weight above 3.5 tonnes, traffic fell by 17% in the first half of 2009 compared to the same period of the previous year. These downward trends continued in 2010, with the result that many Austrian road transport businesses had to lay off workers. Austria argues that the crisis, with its impact on European consumer behaviour and the reduced production of goods, has had a particularly heavy negative impact on the transport sector which has emerged later than was the case for the main industries of the secondary sector. The Commission therefore proposes to mobilise an amount of EUR 3 643 770."@en1
