"I cannot support the present resolution because, in paragraph 8, an individual factory in Italy is singled out with the express wish that precisely this establishment should remain in place, while the current management is being advised to try to sell the factory to a European tyre manufacturer. It is not the European Parliament’s business to express an opinion on which factories in the European Union’s 15 Member States are to remain in place and which are to be shut down; to expand their work forces or reduce them; stay in the same location or else move; be sold or not be sold; and, in the case of those which are to be sold, to comment on whether they are to be sold to companies within or outside Europe. Ultimately, it is a question of different spheres of authority, where the European Parliament and its Members do not have any legal means of changing the current corporate decision or do not even have a particularly deep knowledge of the situation in the factory as it stands. The Swedish Christian Democrats would emphasise the value of the European Union’s and the European Parliament’s concentrating on their basic tasks and not undermining the value of their actions in these areas by also acting in areas outside their jurisdiction."@en1
