Usind the Assumed Temp/Thrust Derate - the Engine failure scenario

Hi Guys, just been reading our Flight Crew Training Manual (FCTM) and we have a new insertion, stating that;

"The fixed derate is considered a limitation for takeoff. Takeoff speeds consider ground and in-air minimum control speeds (VMCG and VMCA) at the fixed derate level of thrust"

It then goes on to say in the engine out case, you should not increase thrust on the live engine as loss of directional control may occur....

Can anyone give a reasonably easy to understand explanation as to why this may be.

Rgds
