"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the ‘made in’ concept must not simply be about marking. It must quickly become a powerful concept of respect for the most advanced rules in relation to knowledge, employee rights, sustainable development and environmental protection, and the expression of a responsible economic attitude.
While globalisation creates the conditions for everyone to be able to produce, the frantic quest solely for profit means that the rights of workers and populations are constantly being infringed, and their environment is being destroyed. Copying, which used to concern only luxury brands, now affects sectors as diverse as the pharmaceutical, car and aeronautical sectors, with the notion of profit always in the background, whereas consumer safety is being seriously undermined. At the same time, tens of thousands of jobs are disappearing.
With the introduction of a ‘made in Europe’ concept, we could enable consumers to make an informed choice, to take action to gain new rights. Yes to respect for workers’ rights and for environmental rules, for our skills and for responsible management. And, finally and most importantly, yes to maintaining and defending industrial jobs in Europe."@en1
