Amendment 10 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a.

Amendment 14 #

Recalls that the redundancies that occurred at Air France are expected to have a significant adverse effect on the local economy, which has issues related with long-term unemployment and the redeployment for workers aged 50+; notes that these redundancies are due to the massive increase in the capacity of subsidized airlines based in countries with much better investment and production conditions thus resulting in a decline of Union companies in terms of market share;

Amendment 19 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 9.

Amendment 21 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 9 b (new) 9b.

Amendment 24 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 11 a (new) 11a. Believes that a coherent strategy of solidarity protectionism would reduce the risk of outsourcing and facilitate the conditions for the relocation of industrial production in the Union; insists that a serious policy of prevention and anticipation of restructuring should prevail over any use of the EGF; also stresses the importance of a genuine European Union-wide industrial policy with sustainable and inclusive growth;
Amendment 25 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 12 12. Calls on the Commission to urge national authorities to provide more details, in future proposals, on the sectors which have growth prospects and are therefore likely to hire people, as well as to gather substantiated data on the impact of the EGF funding, including on the quality of jobs and the reintegration rate achieved through the EGF; moreover, calls on the Commission to monitor the implementation of the EGF and to report back to the Parliament;
Amendment 3 #
2a. Notes that France started providing the personalised services to the targeted beneficiaries on the 19 May 2015, thus the period of eligibility for a financial contribution from the EGF will be from 19 May 2015 to 23 October 2019;

Amendment 6 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Notes that France argues that the redundancies are linked to major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and more particularly, the serious economic disruption undergone by the international air transport sector, notably the decline of the Union’s market share in the face of a spectacular rise of three major companies in the Persian Gulf, which receive state aid and subsidies to a very high extent;
Amendment 7 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Notes that France argues that the redundancies are linked to major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and more particularly, the serious economic disruption undergone by the international air transport sector, notably the decline of the Union’s market share in the face of a spectacular rise of three major companies in the Persian Gulf, which receive state aid and subsidies and are subject to less restrictive social and environmental regulation unlike Union companies;
Amendment 8 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 4. Notes that France argues that the redundancies are linked to major structural changes in world trade patterns due to globalisation and more particularly, the serious economic disruption undergone by the international air transport sector, notably the decline of the Union’s market share in the face of a spectacular rise of three major companies in the Persian Gulf, which receive state aid and subsidies; therefore calls on the Union and Member States to adopt similar economic strategies in order to support a sector subject to international competition;
Amendment 9 #
Motion for a resolution Paragraph 4 a (new) 4a. Deplores the level of subsidies and state aid being received by Emirates, Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways, leading to massive increases in their capacity and weakening the position of European airport hubs including Paris Charles de Gaulle;
