Paragraph 7
7. Notes that 85.2 % of the targeted beneficiaries are over 55, of whom 24.8 % are over 64; stresses how regrettable it is that no viable solution could be found to prevent them from being made redundant, particularly given that age is an aggravating factor when looking for a job; welcomes Greece’s decision to offer vocational training courses to workers which correspond to their needs, especially those of the elderly beneficiaries, and to current labour market requirements;
