"Mr President, yet another business in the south-west of France has just announced that it intends to cease production. As a result, 54 textile workers specialised in the production of luxury cloth are at risk of long-term unemployment in an already devastated region.
The situation we are experiencing is catastrophic. Large numbers of jobs have been lost in this sector since the start of 2005. The recommendations from the high-level group prepare for the future but what will happen in the short term?
Commissioner, you say that we have a respite period of two and a half years, following the agreements that you have signed. However, we must act fast, and I would suggest a number of paths worth considering: authorise the Member States to use the Structural Funds reserve to assist businesses suffering cash-flow problems, and to help them to innovate and restructure; assist businesses in creating consortiums so that they can form a true commercial force able to conquer the Chinese market; impose social and environmental criteria; require product labelling that indicates the country of origin; and, finally, as the speakers before me have already said, create true European labels."@en1
