"Since 2009, I have as a rule voted against all motions to mobilise the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund. The Fund has grown, developed, expanded its scope and received its own grant. It exists, and it will not disappear in the foreseeable future. We therefore have to make the best of the situation. I chose to abstain from voting on the report on the Globalisation Fund that was put to the vote. That is because I feel the Fund is not the right instrument for helping employees who are hit by structural changes. It is primarily structural changes that are actually needed in the individual countries that have been hit. Instead, we in the EU should concentrate on supporting such changes. Sweden has also implemented such changes over the years, since the global market is changing. It is often a painful process, but it is indeed necessary in the long term."@en1
