"I voted for this proposal. One of the criteria for the Commission’s assessment was the evaluation of the link between the redundancies and major structural changes in world trade patterns or the financial crisis. The Spanish authorities describe the redundancies in the Comunidad Valenciana region against a background of radical change in the distribution of footwear production. Third countries, specifically China and India, increasingly dominate the world trade in footwear, and countries such as Vietnam and Indonesia continue to increase their share of world production. The Spanish authorities argue that, according to available data, imports of footwear from non-EU countries into the EU increased almost 6% during the period 2006-2009, while EU exports declined by 16.4% during the same period. As a direct consequence of the fall in exports, the number of footwear producers in the EU27 decreased: in 2008, there were only 24 000 producers in the EU while in 2005, there were still 27 125. This reduction (11.58%) in the number of firms had a direct impact on employment: 78 800 direct jobs – representing almost 20% of the total – were lost in the sector during the period 2005-2008."@en1
