"The European Parliament has approved EUR 2 029 235 to facilitate the reintegration of workers made redundant in the metallurgical sector. As MEP for Galicia, I supported this decision, despite feeling that this is not what the industry needs in order to stop the constant rise in unemployment. Over 10 000 jobs have disappeared in the sector due to the lack of an alternative to tax lease for the Galician shipbuilding industry, added to which is the veto on construction in the Navantia Ferrol shipyard. This huge problem cannot be solved with a quick fix of EUR 2 million for 500 unemployed workers, when thousands of jobs have been lost in the last year alone. In this respect, we call on the European Commission to adopt a final decision once and for all: a preferential alternative tax system for the shipbuilding industry in Galicia, which has been in suspense since the withdrawal of the tax lease system which, in practice, was designed to ensure that Galician shipyards competed on a level playing field with their counterparts across the EU. The ban on construction in the Navantia Ferrol shipyard also needs to be lifted. Both measures would form a genuine and effective way of generating jobs in the metallurgical sector in Galicia, where the unemployment rate is around 22 %."@en1
