lpv:translated text	"Madam President, business people like to talk about a win-win situation, a situation where everyone stands to gain. For millions of people in Europe and throughout the world, though, globalisation is not one. Some benefit, while others suffer its adverse effects – a win-lose situation, in other words. Although critics may question this, I think that we must try to turn globalisation into a win-win situation. Mr Brejc’s report contains a number of interesting proposals in order to achieve this. I endorse his appeal to use EU funds to alleviate the adverse effects of globalisation. It should be clear what is meant by this. We must not pump funds around needlessly and must not keep alive at all costs those industries that are doomed to fail anyway. Instead, we should free up funds to ensure that people who lose their jobs through globalisation are given the opportunity to find a job in another sector. It follows that the funds should be used to create new opportunities, rather than to needlessly prolong the suffering of insolvent sectors. In so far as that is what it is intended to do, I am pleased with the Commission’s proposal to set up a globalisation fund. This need not necessarily involve new funds. We could examine how existing funds could be redirected in order to get this globalisation fund off the ground. Clearly, something must be done. If we do nothing for the people who lose their jobs through globalisation, they will end up in a lose-lose situation. I am indebted to Mr Brejc for this report, which I think will galvanise us into action. We should put our money where our mouth is."@en1
