lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the market industry is under very considerable pressure in Europe. We should therefore be able to expect that the Member States and also the European Union will do their utmost to assist the motor industry, for example, against competition from outside the European Union that does not have to obey the same rules. Yet nothing is further from the truth. The European Investment Bank granted Ford a cheap loan of EUR 100 million to start up a factory in Kocaeli in Turkey. Some sources even speak of an amount of EUR 190 million that was loaned to Ford in Turkey. In other words, the European Union is actively financing and supporting the delocalisation of companies out of Europe, such as Ford Genk. Turkey also receives billions from the Commission in so-called pre-accession funding. It was therefore to be expected that part of all that money would also be used to take industrial activity away from Europe and move it to countries like Turkey. How on earth has it come to this? How can you explain it to the 10 000 people in Limburg who are losing their jobs and the thousands of others in Southampton and Dagenham, for example? Are there still cases where the Investment Bank or the Commission finances factories in low-wage countries or relatively low-wage countries whereby unfair competition arises against companies in Europe? Can the Commission be more specific about the question of which funds from the Globalisation Fund can be used to reintegrate workers made redundant in Genk, for example, into the labour market and to support them? It is now time to start coming up with specific answers to these questions."@en1
