"This is yet another request to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF), submitted by Portugal. Hundreds more workers have been made redundant after three companies from the automotive sector in the country’s Norte and Centro regions – Kromberg & Schubert Portugal, Lda., Lear and Leoni – went out of business, thereby exacerbating the social tragedy unemployment has become in these regions today. This is yet another consequence of the structural policies of the EU, and of the successive Portuguese governments that have promoted the dismantling of significant aspects of the country’s industrial sector, thus leaving it more exposed to the free will of multinationals, which act solely in accordance with an old, natural, well known and single criterion: the maximisation of profits.
It is regrettable that the European Commission has not taken all the measures necessary to defend these jobs, as we advocated several times, by taking measures to put a stop to the veritable ‘nomad’ strategy of these multinationals. Once again, we would stress the injustice of the high rate of cofinancing – 35% of the full sum envisaged – demanded of the Member States under the EGF’s finance criteria, which makes applications by countries with weaker financial situations more difficult."@en1
