"Mr President, honourable Members, the EU’s trade policy consists of trade agreements with different non-European countries. Before any of these agreements is signed, there will naturally be a competitiveness test for our businesses. We intend to meet the challenge by focusing on quality and offering our quality to global markets. It is no accident that the text approved by the Commission on reindustrialisation mentions a few quality sectors on which we should focus and at which we should direct our financial efforts, including Horizon 2020, which should allow investment in research as part of our industrial policy.
We are currently running some missions for growth: the latest one was in Egypt last week and next we will be in Tunisia and Morocco, and then we will be going to Peru and Chile and so on to China, Russia, Vietnam, Australia and Canada. We have already toured the whole of Latin America, we have been to Mexico and the United States to present our industrial model and our industries. These missions are designed to combat offshoring in these countries with new industrial facilities, and we are already seeing some very positive results. There is a lot of interest, and a lot of non-EU countries, including African countries, are asking for an industrial presence to manufacture our quality products in these markets.
This would mean that, without offshoring, we are able to sell our products made on the spot. We are also doing everything we can to ensure the world knows about the quality of European manufacturing and of European-made products."@en1
