"Many of my MEP colleagues are aware that Peugeot Citroën recently announced a further wave of redundancies – this is further proof, as if any were needed, that the global automotive industry is still struggling to deal with the worst effects of the economic crisis. This EGF application is not linked to these recent developments, but rather to an earlier announcement of redundancies at Peugeot Citroën in 2009 and 2010. As was the case in the US, ongoing restructuring in some aspects of the European car industry is necessary in order for it to regain global competitiveness. I therefore think it was appropriate that we MEPs today agreed to provide EUR 11.9 million from the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) to help the 2 089 workers who were made redundant in that period. The French regions affected by the redundancies are Bretagne, Franche-Comté, Île-de-France, Alsace and Lorraine – most of whom have higher unemployment than the national average. I also consider it appropriate at this time to echo the Commission’s call to maintain the EGF for the 2014-2020 multiannual financial framework, while further improving its functioning. The Fund is a concrete example of the twin EU value of solidarity and added value, and should be maintained."@en1
