"Ms Schroedter, perhaps I did not make myself sufficiently clear when I explained the document approved by the European Commission on reindustrialising the EU. Our document does in fact propose a third industrial revolution, an industrial revolution based on energy efficiency and promotion of the green economy, with the aim of achieving a green economy through a greener economy.
When we talk about sectors that need to be supported and the sectors we should focus on for the growth of a European industrial policy, we are talking about the sustainable construction sector, as I have said, the green transport sector, the automotive sector, shipbuilding and the rail sector. When I say that we need to work on improving the raw materials sector, and we are focusing on research, as you know an EU Innovation Partnership has been launched, as Mr Bütikofer from your group knows.
We are working very hard in the raw materials, recycling, replacement and extraction sector. I would say that the main objective of our entire industrial policy is to combat climate change. I have not had time to talk about it at any length, partly because time is short, but if you read our document carefully, you will undoubtedly find the answer to your comments. I say it again: construction, including our communication on the action plan for the construction sector, is all based on this same thing. All our action regarding policy for the car industry is along these lines.
The fact that we have given advance notice of the European policy U-turn in favour of an industrial policy does not mean we are re-hashing the ideas of the 1970s and 1980s with their out-of-date, obsolete industrial model unsuited to delivering growth and development; it means we have made an important change.
The fact that we have brought in as our special guest Jeremy Rifkin, whose theories are along the lines I have just explained, is no accident. I believe I will allay your fears when I tell you that our industrial policy is not an outmoded nineteenth or twentieth century model; it is a modern, competitive model for industrial policy, which includes a strong commitment to combating climate change."@en1
