"Firstly, I should like to congratulate the rapporteur on his report. The purpose of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) is to support dismissed workers, especially in regions and sectors disadvantaged by the globalised economy. According to the EGF Regulation, the limit of 0.35% of the EGF amount can be made available each year for technical assistance. The Commission has asked for EUR 1.12 million for technical assistance in 2012. For its part, the Council proposed that the amount requested for technical assistance should be reduced to EUR 730 000, on the grounds that the future of the EGF in the next multiannual financial framework is still unclear. Even though the European Commission and the European Parliament accepted the Council’s proposal, we should make it clear, for our part, that the negative consequences of globalisation, combined with the continuing economic crisis, provide even more proof of the added value of the EGF as an EU social policy instrument. The targeted financial support which it provides under retraining and reintegration programmes for workers hit by mass redundancies is especially important. Furthermore, the support which it provides is a real expression of EU solidarity."@en1
