".
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, today Europe is being asked to perform a new task of industrial policy coordination, and even the most ardent supporters of the freedom of private initiative are calling for this role to be carried out. Without more Europeanisation of national strategies, particularly in terms of job protection, the current crisis will not be resolved and there will be no economic recovery.
The automotive crisis is not just about overcapacity: it is about widespread job losses. The crisis now seems to be structural and concerns the very future of the automotive sector as we know it today. We want to have an automotive industry in Europe and do not want to squander the skills, know-how and professional expertise that exist. We are therefore calling for a major restructuring and regeneration project to be launched swiftly so that the costs do not escalate disproportionately.
Restructuring cannot only derive from fragmented decisions by national governments and individual companies. We at least need to try to join forces and guide this painful process at EU level, making the interested parties sit down at the table for a dialogue between the social partners, manufacturers, trade unions and governments in each country, offering support for research, innovation, training, upskilling and the necessary funding. I know that this will be an arduous task, because the national interests of individual companies are not the same. However, since competition within the European Union is highly ambiguous and at times risks being unfair, I believe that ultimately it is in the interests of all countries to have effective EU guidance and stimulus, so that together we can face the increasingly aggressive global market."@en1
