"The European Commission rightly noted that the global financial crisis has had a significant negative impact on the development of Europe’s shipbuilding industry. Production at European shipyards has decreased, and according to CESA the shipbuilding workforce in Europe declined by 23 % over the past three years. In Galicia, the figure was even worse, at 30 %, for a sector which represents 45 % of the Spanish shipbuilding industry. Unemployment in Galicia rose from 8 % at the end of 2008 to 17.25 % in late 2011. I therefore welcome the EGF aid for 450 workers, which will include occupational guidance and accompaniment towards business creation or self-employment, as well as general re-training and vocational training, among other measures. I was particularly pleased to see that some funding will be reserved for contribution to commuting expenses and assistance for carers of dependent persons. As some of my MEP colleagues will know, I am a strong advocate of supporting carers and I congratulate the authors of this application for their progressive thinking."@en1
