lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, the lower Clyde on the west coast of Scotland has a fine record for building world-class ships. That industry has been in serious decline for the last 30 years. Now Ferguson’s – one of the few remaining yards – sees its future threatened. Mr President, as you know, all new orders for ships in the European Union have to go out to public tender. Ferguson’s recently lost a competitive tender to a company called Remontowa in Gdansk in Poland. They believe they lost it on unfair terms. The Commission is now investigating suspected state aids to that particular yard. I am raising this matter today because two new ships are out for tender and it is important that the next competition be based on a level playing field. Mr President, I ask you to join me in urging the Commission to complete its investigation as a matter of urgency so that we can know that this tender process will be on the basis of equals tendering for the contract and not with one company facing competition with one hand tied behind its back."@en1
