Motion for a resolution Paragraph 1 a (new) 1 a. Notes that the financial contribution will target 557 workers made redundant out of which 194 persons are men and 363 are women;
Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Notes, therefore, that Supermarket Larissa, a cooperative of small grocery stores formed in 1986 that reached 42 shops and 600 workers, could not overcome its losses and had to close its shops during the second quarter of 2014; points out that this was not prevented by the austerity measures, in particular wage cuts (-30%), the renegotiation of leases and the putting off of the maturity date of bills; notes that this situation is also due to the drastic reduction in loans to enterprises, in a context where quantitative easing by the ECB failed to kickstart loans; notes that this case is a dramatic result of the continuous pressure by creditors on Greece and of European austerity policy ;

Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 a (new) 5 a.

Amendment 13 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 5 b (new) 5 b.

Notes the rather high amount (EUR 15 000) to be received, as part of personalised services, by the workers or NEETs who will set up their own business; notes, at the same time, that a large number of the redundant workers have an entrepreneurial background which increases their chances of success in this sector;

Notes that the Greek economy was in deep recession for six consecutive years (from 2008 to 2013) and that since 2008, private consumption decreased by 32,3 percentage points while unemployment increased by about 19 percentage points; points to the closure of thousands of enterprises in Greece and the decline in household consumption and purchasing power since the beginning of the financial and economic crisis in 2008 and the fact that volumes of retail trade of food, beverages and tobacco were more than 30 % lower in 2015 than the early-crisis
