"Madam President, we have today voted to spend another EUR 500 million of taxpayers’ money by mobilising the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. I just wonder: do we get good value for that money? Does anyone check to see how many jobs are created or do we in fact just vote for this expenditure to give ourselves a warm feeling that we can somehow resist the process of job losses in Europe? Perhaps we should take more practical steps to preventing job losses in Europe by making our economy more competitive. This is at a time when the nation states’ finances are under enormous pressure. The EUR 500 million that we voted to spend could have been returned to the Member States. I would suggest that would have been a much better use of the money."@en1
