"I wish to greet the workers from Opel General Motors in the Azambuja region of Portugal in this plenary session, who are currently fighting for their jobs and for the future of the company, following the threat of manufacturing being transferred abroad. If this threat materialises, thousands of jobs will be lost and the social and economic impact will be devastating.
Parliament has adopted a number of resolutions putting forward a series of recommendations on company relocations. I therefore feel it is vitally important for Parliament to examine what initiatives the Commission has taken with a view to implementing the following measures: making Community aid conditional on long-term agreements on employment and local development, as Parliament has proposed; setting up a register of companies relocating and benefiting directly or indirectly from public incentives, thereby failing to meet their contractual obligations; refusal to grant or requirement to return Community funding for companies that fail to meet their contractual obligations in full – I wonder how many times this has been implemented; practical measures adopted by the Commission to support the workers and to foster the economic recovery of the regions affected by relocations; and the drafting of a Code of Conduct to prevent company relocations."@en1
