(ANSAmed) - BRUSSELS, MAY 29 - The European Commission today made payments totalling 681,000 euro to the Maltese authorities from the European Globalisation adjustment Fund (EGF) for 675 dismissed Maltese textile workers. Vladimir Spidla, EU Commissioner for Employment, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities said: "This money will help those who have lost their jobs as the result of the impact of globalisation in Malta where the small labour market was hard hit by the loss of 675 jobs". First presented by the Commission in January 2008, the Maltese application came after two textile manufacturing companies - VF and Bortex - closed all or part of their operations in Malta. As Malta has the lowest active population of the EU, this relatively small number of redundancies had a big impact on the labour market and the application was presented for a "small labour market".
