"I wholeheartedly support the Commission’s proposals to extend the derogation which allows us to mobilise EGF funds to assist workers made redundant due to the global economic crisis until 2013. The European Globalisation Fund has been essential to assist European workers who found themselves on the losing side of globalisation, especially since the behaviour of market speculators triggered the severe financial and economic crisis we find ourselves in. There is a need to address serious issues, such as the slow and cumbersome nature of the EGF procedures and the problems we face to secure national funding to match the EU’s share. The deadline for availing of EGF funds must not count from the start of such complex and lengthy procedures, as this results in lost funding opportunities for workers in need of assistance. In the Dell workers’ case in Ireland, the EGF fund helped contribute to start new enterprises which created 240 jobs and retrained or up-skilled many hundreds more. We need to reflect on ways to preserve the knowledge accumulated by the workers assisted by EGF funds so as to support and hasten future applications. The workers made redundant by TalkTalk in Waterford can benefit from that know-how."@en1
