"In my home country, Ireland, we are intimately familiar with the perils associated with downturns in the construction sector. It brings me no pleasure to note that other EU countries are experiencing similar or related difficulties. I agree with Commission Andor, who noted earlier this year that the construction sector in Gelderland, Netherlands, has been hit particularly hard by the effects of the global crisis and its job-seekers are facing difficulties in finding new employment. The Netherlands applied for EGF support for 516 workers who lost their jobs at 54 small and medium-sized construction enterprises operating in Gelderland, which with 2 million inhabitants is the Netherlands’ biggest province, and an area where construction is a major employer. The package aims to help workers by offering them job-search assistance, vocational training, and entrepreneurship courses. I also welcome the inclusion of the innovative ‘flexpool’ in their EGF application – a flexible pool providing links for both job-seekers and employers in the construction sector, which can offer temporary employment so that retrained workers gain new work experience."@en1
