"Mr President, I am aware that I am going to repeat what the previous speaker said, because it is the same old story. Here we are again discussing shipbuilding and the unfair practices of South Korea in the sector.
I have no doubt that while we are here splitting hairs, Korean shipyards will be working at full capacity. I would also like to point out that this discussion on the unfair practices of this Asian country began in 1998 and so far no action has been taken against the Republic of South Korea, but rather we spend time discussing whether or not it is a good idea to include one category or another in the defence mechanism, which the European Commission designed nearly two years ago. I do not think I am wrong in saying that at this rate we will end up including pleasure boats.
I would also like to point out that in November 2001 in this House we approved the inclusion of gas carriers, ferries and boats for the transport of motor vehicles, which is part of the complaint to the WTO, but they were not included in the defence mechanism.
Surprisingly, that proposal did not receive the necessary support from the Council, so the whole matter is still on hold, which is truly shameful. I would like to call for solidarity between the countries of the European Union, the same solidarity on which we have built this community of Europe and which in recent times appears to have faded, because without it, European shipbuilders will soon have disappeared, and we will be accountable to thousands of families."@en1
