lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the Azambuja situation is alarming. Thousands of workers, some of whom are here in the Chamber today, are under threat of redundancy. This applies to thousands of support businesses and workers’ families in Azambuja and neighbouring areas, as well as to the General Motors workers themselves. I recently met with the Portuguese Workers' Commission, the Mayor and with my fellow MEP Mrs Madeira, but I should like to say at this point that the issue has a broader, European-level scope. We know that General Motors has had strategic difficulties and that it has called for Renault Nissan to step in and help with the management. This does not, however, exempt the company from their responsibilities. The resolution that we have tabled confronts General Motors with its European responsibilities, and states very clearly what is happening in Azambuja. Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, strategic changes and business restructuring must take into account the fact that workers are human beings and not just factors of production. The EU needs to have a clear strategy, a more appropriate means of dealing with such problems if it wants to have a European social model that functions properly. The resolution that we tabled is a step in that direction."@en1
