"I voted in favour of this document. The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (hereinafter EGF) was created in 2006 in order to provide additional assistance to workers made redundant due to the major structural changes in world trade patterns. During the economic and financial crisis, financial assistance from this fund could also be allocated to people made redundant due to the consequences of the crisis. The EGF Regulation provides that 0.3% of the annual maximum EGF amount may be made available each year for technical assistance at the initiative of the Commission. In view of this provision, I welcomed the allocation of EUR 1.12 million from the EGF, to ensure the proper implementation of the EGF Regulation. However, the Commission must also take into account the European Parliament’s requests, particularly with regard to savings in the areas of administrative and technical support, the creation of a knowledge base and effective monitoring. I take a negative view of the Council’s decision to block the extension of the crisis derogation, under which it was possible to provide financial assistance to workers made redundant as a result of the current financial and economic crisis, and to increase the rate of Union cofinancing to 65% of the programme costs. I believe that, given the difficult economic situation that remains and the high level of unemployment in the Member States, the validity of this exceptional provision needs to be extended."@en1
