Text tabled : A7-0303/2011

  Maria do Céu Patrão Neves (PPE), in writing. – (PT) On 28 June 2011 the Commission adopted a new proposal for a decision on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund (EGF) for the Netherlands, with the aim of supporting the reintegration into the labour market of workers made redundant as a result of the global economic and financial crisis. This is the 11th application to be examined within the framework of the 2011 budget, and relates to the mobilisation of the total sum of EUR 2 649 148 from the EGF for 800 redundancies, all of which are targeted for assistance, from 52 companies operating in NACE Revision 2 Division 18 (Printing and reproduction of recorded media) in the NUTS II regions of Zuid-Holland (NL33) and Utrecht (NL31) in the Netherlands, during the nine-month reference period between 16 January and 16 October 2009. Following an analysis of the process by all of the stakeholders, including the Commission, and given that the Committee on Employment and the EGF Working Group approve of the mobilisation of the Fund in favour of the Netherlands, I voted in favour of this report.
