Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: application EGF/2016/001 FI/Microsoft (A8-0273/2016 - Petri Sarvamaa)

  Tim Aker, Jane Collins and Mike Hookem (EFDD), in writing. – UKIP voted against this budgetary (single vote) report. This vote was to approve giving EUR 5 364 000 (60% match funding) for 1 441 Finnish workers who have been made redundant. This is nothing more than EU dole money. UKIP opposes British taxpayers’ money being used to offset poor economic decisions in other countries and by the EU.
