Road freight, which declined by 10% across the EU in 2009, seems to be recovering more slowly than other freight sectors. The Austrian road freight sector was already far more severely affected than other parts of Europe, declining by 30-50% compared with 20-30%, and this downward trend continued in 2010. This negative trend particularly affected small and micro haulage contractors in Oberösterreich and Niederösterreich, which have had to make 2 338 job cuts. Those affected are mainly truck drivers, who have not been able to find other work because of their lack of qualifications; moreover, 51 of the 502 people needing support having long-term health problems or a disability. Occupational further training measures should now provide these people with assistance, the proposed package of measures being coordinated with the sector-specific social partners and monitored by the state labour department. For this reason, I voted in favour."@en1
