"The textile sector was the first sector of EU industry to feel the pain of changes in the global market. New market participants have appeared on the textile market, above all China and India. It is sad to hear statements by European Union officials that when China's membership of the WTO was negotiated ten years ago, no one imagined such growth in China. Textiles and other sectors with problems show that this is not about a single European state's inability to manage its economy. It is a problem for the majority of industrial sectors in the whole of Europe. While having an industrial policy, the European Union only really predicts the general direction for growth and employment. The sectors recommended for expansion are not identified; this is a matter for the Member States. As a counterbalance to China, the rapporteur proposes to concentrate textile production in the Mediterranean region. However, this will definitely not stop China, and Europe will have new competitors. There is a need for an analysis and long-term development forecast of EU industrial sectors, taking into account the appearance of new market participants and the division of markets. I therefore invite the European Parliament to urge the European Commission to prepare proposals to amend industrial policy, to forecast long-term industrial development up to 2030-2050 and to submit recommendations to industry about sectors of the future that should begin to be invested in now. If we do not undertake such measures, a Chinese ‘tsunami’ will devastate industry in Europe."@en1
