"The principle of subsidiarity dictates that decisions should be taken at the closest possible level to the citizen – in this case at regional or national level. Therefore, these projects should not be funded by the European Union.
It is absurd that the arbiters of whether this funding should, or should not, be given are Members of the European Parliament with no detailed knowledge of the situation. This project may well be of benefit to the people of Germany, but I am not best placed to judge. I have an additional concern in this case, as it appears that the workers may not have actually been made redundant when the company was taken over.
The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund should be scrapped, which would give money back to the Member States to decide for themselves about the appropriateness of such funding. Consequently, I had no option but to vote against – even though this may be a worthwhile project."@en1
