The economic crisis which is hitting employment hard within the EU requires a strong European response adapted to the diverse situations within Member States and the varying employment conditions concerned. With this in mind the European Parliament during its plenary session in Strasbourg tomorrow will review the European globalisation adjustment fund. Despite warnings by the European Parliament the eligibility criteria, in place since the creation of the EGF in 2006, have proven too rigid whilst social policies multiply throughout Europe and unemployment continues to increase. "While lowering the threshold at which the fund can intervene when workers lose their jobs by 1000 to 500, and including the subcontractors in this calculation, and by raising from 50% to 65% the potential share of Community financing, the new eligibility criteria respond better to the situation on the ground and therefore the concerns of the people", noted Ona Jukneviciene (Independent, Lithuania), ALDE... - ALDEADLE

Today the European Parliament approved a broadening of the EU eco-design Directive to all energy related products. Products such as hairdryers, computers and fridges already had to fulfill Eco-design requirements. Now also goods which help reduce energy consumption, such as windows, construction products, insulation materials, detergents and water-using products are covered by this legislation. Magor Imre Csibi (PNL, Romania) drafted Parliament's report and pushed to broaden the scope. He is satisfied that thanks to the efforts of the EP the compromise clarifies the definition of energy related products, the resource efficiency and life cycle are better covered, and the Commission committed itself to adapt the current methodology if needed to prepare for a future extension to all products after its review in 2012. He said: "In times of narrowing natural resources, we need to optimize the use of resources by reducing the environmental impact of our products during their entire... - ALDEADLE
