Mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund: redundancies in automobile and textiles sectors

The European Parliament adopted, by 634 votes to 32 with 19 abstentions, a resolution approving the proposal for a decision of the European Parliament and of the Council on the mobilisation of the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund to provide a sum of EUR 10 770 772 in commitment and payment appropriations with respect to the recent redundancies in the automobile sector (Spain) and the textile sector (Lithuania).

The report had been tabled for consideration in plenary by Reimer BÖGE (EPP-ED, DE) on behalf of the Committee on Budgets.

Spain submitted an application to deploy the Fund in respect of redundancies in the automobile sector, specifically for workers made redundant by Delphi Automotive Systems España, S.L.U and Lithuania in respect of redundancies in the textile sector, specifically for workers made redundant by Alytaus Tekstile.

Parliament requests that the institutions involved make the necessary efforts to accelerate the mobilisation of the Fund.
