"I voted in favour of the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for the workers in the ‘Construction of buildings’ sector in Trentino-Alto Adige/Südtirol. No sector has escaped the repercussions of the financial crisis, but some categories of workers have suffered its effects more than others. In particular, the construction sector accounts for 15% of the GDP of the Trentino-Alto Adige region, providing work for around 8% of workers in the autonomous province of Trento and around 8.6% of workers in the autonomous province of Bolzano. Between 2009 and 2010, unemployment increased by 43% in Bolzano and by 117% in Trento. The EGF is an important European policy tool created to provide supplementary support to workers made redundant due to the substantial structural changes in the organisation of global trade. At this time of crisis, the EU must not shirk its duties and must transmit confidence to its citizens and Member States through these support mechanisms. Accordingly, I hope that an agreement can be reached in order to retain the fund until 2020."@en1
