Text tabled : A7-0376/2011

  Carlos Coelho (PPE), in writing. (PT) Given the various repercussions that Ireland has suffered owing to its vulnerability in the face of the financial crisis due to mortgage lending in the US and structural changes in the patterns of world trade, I believed it important to vote for this report, which will provide vital one-off, time-limited assistance to workers who have been made redundant. Furthermore, I believe in the purpose for which the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund will be mobilised, to a total of EUR 21 664 148 for Ireland. This support for the reintegration into Ireland’s labour market of workers made redundant as a result of the global economic and financial crisis is vital in order to safeguard 2 228 redundancies in 1 560 companies in Division 43.

Of the package of measures proposed by the Commission, I would like to emphasise in particular two which are imperative, namely occupational guidance, whereby one-to-one occupational counselling sessions will be arranged for redundant workers in order to give them advice on steps to be taken towards a return to employment; and also vocational and second-level education and training programmes and income support, which will be developed for the retraining that is increasingly important in the context of growing competitiveness in an increasingly globalised world.
