lpv:translated text	"Madam President, Commissioner, the people of France have had the feeling that, quite apart from the debate about any aid which the French Government may or may not decide to provide, there is an ego problem between Mr Mer and yourself. I should like to say right away that that is a matter which is of no interest to us. We are not here to give you our support, any more than we are here to give Mr Mer our support. The question we have to consider is simple: does Europe, the European Union – and more specifically the Commission of which you are a member – have a clear industrial policy? Ought we to have blind faith in you? The answer is ‘no’. I do not see any clear industrial policy. As for having blind faith in you, the decisions which have been taken by the Court of Justice, which have overturned three of the decisions which you had taken, demonstrate only too well that this is not possible. I do not doubt your good intentions, but I do doubt the efficacy and the justice of the decisions that you take. At all events this affair has revealed that even the European Commission, whatever its claims, when confronted with an exceptionally serious problem involving one country, cannot do anything either. I would be the first to admit that the French Government has presented its case badly. However, I would also like to say that the way in which you yourself have reacted is not calculated to help Alstom either. Finally, it would seem that both sides have now seen reason to some extent. I would add, in conclusion, the Mr Lipietz is in the wrong place. If he wants to criticise the French Government, he should not do it here, because it is not the job of this House to judge the French Government. Come and do it in a different forum, Mr Lipietz, in our own country, where people will be able to give you an answer."@en1
