"Madam President, I want to compliment the rapporteur on the work that she has done on this file. If we have learnt anything from the crisis it is that Europe must stand by its workers, particularly our older workers who have been made redundant. We need to help them find their way back into quality employment or set up their own businesses.
My own country, Ireland, has implemented seven EGF programmes since 2009, including one aimed at supporting 850 former SR Technics workers in Dublin and a national programme aimed at 6 000 construction workers. I know how valuable this fund is.
As the rapporteur Marian Harkin has said, significant improvements have been made in the fund. I very much welcome the fact that the EGF will once again be able to support job losses arising from the crisis, not just those caused by globalisation. I also welcome the increase in cofinancing from 50% to 60%; the extension to fixed-term, part-time and self-employed workers; and the reduction in red tape. But particularly important is the possibility that support can now be provided to young people not in employment, education or training, the so-called NEETs category.
Again I want to congratulate and thank the rapporteur for her hard work in bringing this to a successful conclusion."@en1
