"I voted in favour of the report on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) in favour of the Netherlands in support of the 435 workers dismissed from 54 companies active in the construction sector. The reference period for this report is the nine-month period from 1 February to 1 November 2011. During that time, the ‘crisis derogation’ was in force, allowing the provision of financial aid to workers who were dismissed as a result of the current financial and economic crisis, and the increase in the rate of cofinancing. I regret that despite the continuing crisis, the Council blocked the extension of this derogation. The case of the Netherlands is the best demonstration of the fact that this financial instrument does not confine its operation to countries facing economic and budgetary challenges, but may prove equally useful in helping dismissed workers to reintegrate into the labour market even in economically robust countries. This in turn underlines the importance of that Fund, and shows how necessary it is that it should continue to operate for the duration of the forthcoming multiannual financial framework 2014-2020."@en1
