"Mr President, optimistic proclamations are being made concerning the announcement of the beginning of the end of the crisis. Unfortunately, these declarations are contradicted by reality on a daily basis. The situation in northern Portugal is an illustration of this. In the District of Braga alone, at least 10 companies have closed in recent weeks, leaving more than 300 workers unemployed. Many others are at risk of closing.
The situation is particularly serious in the textile and clothing sector: one of the sectors of the European Union to be worst affected by the increasing liberalisation of world trade. In this tragic situation, there is an urgent need for solutions that are different from the political guidelines that caused it.
It is vital to implement safeguard measures, in particular, in sectors to be indicated by the Member States, in order to be able to sustain and promote jobs and the continued operation of these companies, as well as to move forward with the creation – an issue that has already been the subject of a resolution by this Parliament – of a Community programme to support the textile sector, with adequate resources specifically targeted at the least favoured regions that are dependent on this sector."@en1
