The Budgets Committee approved
on Thursday €840,000 in European Globalisation Adjustment Funding to help 300
workers who lost their jobs in the construction sector in Valencia get back on
to the labour market. The decision still needs to be endorsed by Parliament as
a whole and Council.
Some 140 enterprises in the region of Valencia face
serious difficulties as the production of non-metallic mineral products (such
as concrete, fibreglass insulation products and tiles) has declined
significantly since 2008. This negative trend applies to the entire EU but
production in Spain has declined more steeply.
Consequently, some 630 workers were made redundant in
Valencia. Of these, roughly 300 are expected to take up the measures designed
to help them back into work.
