lpv:translated text	". Mr President, Commissioner, you have spoken about overcapacity and restructuring. We are of course aware of these aspects but today we are assuming rather too easily that we at European level or you as the European Commission can do absolutely nothing about it. You speak about monitoring the implementation of European legislation but today the situation is such that multinationals like Opel, General Motors or Ford just play off the different national subsidy systems against each other or look to see where they can produce the cheapest for the lowest social costs and then simply move their production to that place. That is actually the ultimate misunderstanding of the defective functioning of the European internal market when companies delocalise on the basis of the scope of the national market and that can of course not be the intention. It also illustrates in a particularly painful way, Commissioner, the appalling lack of minimum social agreements within Europe. May I refer to Article 26 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. It provides specifically for the possibility of the European Commission making proposals in order to ensure the balanced progress of the internal market and we should be able to avail ourselves of that article perfectly to support such restructuring. I should like to make two more points, Commissioner; first of all the new CARS 2020 Action Plan, which you mentioned, refers specifically to measures provided to support suppliers who are affected by the closure of a car factory. It is very important that suppliers can call upon bridging measures in order to be able to look for new customers. Are you ready to do something about it in the short term? Finally, Commissioner, a quick word about the European Investment Bank: it must stop granting advantageous loans to large companies, large car manufacturers that then use these subsidies to produce elsewhere outside the European Union and to delocalise. That can obviously not be the intention. It is naive, it is unacceptable and it must stop. Can we also expect action from you in that regard?"@en1
