Giovanni La Via (PPE), in writing. − (IT) I voted in favour of mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for Sweden. At times of economic crisis such as the present, the EGF is an appropriate means of assistance, and not only to workers in difficulty. Today’s vote involved about 700 redundancies at the pharmaceutical enterprise AstraZeneca. The total amount mobilised is EUR 4 325 854.
