lpv:translated text	"The European Globalisation Adjustment Fund is a mechanism that should be widely debated. Officially, this fund enables the European Union to fund specific actions to counter the effects of the crisis. It is about as effective as sticking a plaster on a wooden leg. This mechanism, however, is only used on a case-by-case basis. In reality, it funds redundancy schemes. Today, in the case of Greece, the ALDI supermarket chain and one of its suppliers have received support from this fund. The champion of hard-discount which rakes in tens of billions in sales each year has laid off over 500 people in two stores in Greece. At a time when the Greek people are at the mercy of the austerity measures imposed on their government by the European Union, we are encouraging and funding a big business which is laying people off. I therefore voted against this report and I regret, once again, that European funds are being misused."@en1
