lpv:spoken text	"Madam President, I wanted to bring to the Commissioner’s attention another example of job dismissals which might help this debate – perhaps a case that might be suitable for the Global Adjustment Fund. There is a small town where I live, and within the region I represent, called Brough. It contains a large airfield where pilots trained in Spitfires for the Battle of Britain. People have now started to talk of the ‘Battle for Brough’, as BAE Systems threatens to shed 900 jobs, leaving a workforce of only 400. It will have a huge impact on a community of 7 000 inhabitants. What can we do? Of course we can check that all the rules the Commissioner referred to are being adhered to, but we also know that in this same locality, we have the huge development of offshore wind and carbon capture and storage, and I was much impressed by what Isabelle Durant said. How can we use restructuring and the funds that might be available to move into new technologies where we have an amazingly highly-skilled technical workforce that is otherwise going to be at a loss, greatly to the detriment of that local community? I know that my national government is not a huge fan of the fund, but if it can be used in an appropriate and progressive manner, it should be considered."@en1
