"The economic crisis and the increase in competition from third countries has led to a decline in business for European footwear producers. Exports of shoes from the EU fell by 16.4% between 2006 and 2009. While this affects all EU countries, the impact on Spain is more severe than elsewhere: the number of footwear producers dropped by 36% between 2006 and 2010, resulting in over 10 000 job losses. In the Comunidad Valenciana region, which has been hit hard by the recession, the situation of these producers is particularly concerning. In December 2011, Spain requested that the region’s troubled workers be able to benefit from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund’s assistance. Through the adoption of this resolution, we are agreeing to release over EUR 1.6 million in aid. This will enable us to help 876 former employees of 146 footwear producers to seek employment, through measures such as job search assistance, professional training and support for setting up businesses. I lend my support to this initiative, while once again underlining that supporting industrial manufacturing in Europe has never been more necessary."@en1
