<s>[INST] The next text is a question of a member of the European parliament:"There was a steep rise in the number of unemployed people in Spain in December 2003, with 23 419 new jobless, the worst rise in the last ten years. Of these 7 465, or 32 % of the total, were in Galicia, although the region accounts for only 7 % of the population. The unemployment rate in Galicia is now 12,36 %. This adverse trend, further evidence of a link between low income and unemployment, calls for special measures to tackle both serious problems simultaneously, particularly in Objective 1 regions such as Galicia.  Is the Commission already aware of this negative trend in employment in Galicia? Is it willing to consider special development measures to combat unemployment, in liaison with the Galician and Spanish authorities?"
