"I voted in favour of the report by my esteemed colleague Mr Cottigny. As far as the content is concerned, one of the European Parliament’s priorities clearly must be to provide additional assistance to workers suffering from the consequences of major structural changes in world trade patterns and help them to reintegrate in the labour market. There were 2 089 redundancies, all of which are targeted by this assistance, including 649 in the two branches of the PSA Peugeot Citroën group, and this was both an economic and a social disaster. Europe was duty-bound to come to their aid.
However, I regret the Council’s decision to block the extension of the ‘crisis derogation’, allowing to provide financial assistance to workers made redundant as a result of the current financial and economic crisis in addition to those losing their job because of changes in global trade patterns, and allowing the increase in the rate of Union cofinancing to 65 % of the programme costs, for applications submitted after the 31 December 2011 deadline. I call on the Council to reintroduce this measure without delay."@en1
