"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, we need to give our fellow citizens concrete proof of our capacity to resolve the crisis, first and foremost, through growth fuelled by investment.
Can you justify, in these times of precarious employment, doing away with the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF), which is supposed to support workers who have lost their jobs because of globalisation, especially when we have to reinvent an industrial policy for Europe? Solidarity and insecurity are affecting a new population of young people, unemployed workers, women and pensioners. Yet those same people who were unable to manage this crisis would choose to do away with the European food distribution programme? Mr President, I ask that it be maintained beyond 2013, without doing away with any other essential programmes.
The last aspect is cohesion. The regions must not be held responsible for the poor management of the Member States. We reject the strengthening of macro-economic conditionality because, in a time of crisis, we need to be able to adjust the support policies where economic growth is regional and where jobs can be provided. We therefore stand alongside the trade unions and NGOs that are fighting for solidarity, and alongside the regions, which must play a key role in the vitality of the territories in order to promote more growth, employment and social justice."@en1
