"The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) provides considerable support to workers made redundant as a result of structural changes taking place in global trade patterns and, more recently, due to the effects of the economic crisis. The main economic problem facing Spain is the alarming unemployment rate. At present, Spain has an unemployment rate of 25%, which means that more than 5 million are unemployed. The hardest hit areas are the industrialised zones which are gradually losing ground in competing with the emerging countries. I feel that the support provided through EGF funding is important, and it can be compared to a lifeline to help those who have been made redundant. However, the affected workers need further considerable support through the European Social Fund programmes whose aim is to retrain and reintegrate them into the labour market. I voted for this report as I feel that the workers made redundant need this support urgently. The areas hit with redundancies should receive special attention from the authorities in order to attract new investments and support for business opportunities. Renewable energy is one area offering potential for creating jobs. I should point out that the workers made redundant in Comunidad Valenciana are currently building the largest solar park in Europe."@en1
