"This request is the 13th application submitted under the 2012 budget and refers to the mobilisation of a total amount of EUR 7 488 000 from the EGF for Denmark. The application concerns 720 redundancies in wind turbine manufacturer Vestas Group. Ironically, one of Europe’s largest renewable energy groups is making hundreds of workers redundant at a time when the EU claims that this is a priority area under its Europe 2020 strategy. This is food for thought, and in fact sheds light on the real meaning and objectives of that strategy. Despite wind turbine production in Europe having increased in recent years, and despite the foreseeable increase in the needs of the Asian, North American and South American markets, the solution adopted has not been to build on the loyalty of the European market and conquer new markets, but to dismiss highly skilled workers and relocate production and services outside Europe. This has left behind another trail of poverty in the municipalities of Midtjylland and Syddanmark, where in February of this year 76 430 people were already unemployed."@en1
