lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, last Friday Northern Ireland suffered the double blow of the loss of two factories, both the result of an inability to compete with cheap imports. ‘Farm-Fed Chickens’, a long-standing poultry factory in Coleraine announced its closure with 350 job losses, and ‘Barber Threads’ in Lisburn was a casualty with 85 job losses in the textile sector. Cheap imports are now the scourge of EU manufacturing and processing industries. With Commissioner Mandelson’s approach at the WTO, it seems the Commission wants to rush further down this road of destruction. In the name of those being driven from employment right across Europe, I call for a root and branch reassessment of our approach to cheap imports, so that the social economic consequences are properly considered. We cannot go on haemorrhaging indigenous jobs in the pursuit of what really is an unacceptable dogma."@en1
