"Mr President, Commissioner, I think you are being too defensive if you only examine how the consequences of plant closures and overcapacity can be remedied. No, I believe we need to examine how corporate policy can be shaped in a sensible way. The lesson is firstly that we need different forms of corporate governance. We need employees to be more involved in their companies so that sensible solutions can be found for the future of firms. This is one of the central lessons learned from the crisis: greater worker participation in companies to enable sensible solutions to be found.
Secondly, Commissioner, we in fact have 15 factories in the European Union that are running at around 50 % capacity. When I look at the global market, however, Commissioner, car production is growing from roughly 79 million to 84 million. Something is wrong here! It is unacceptable that we are de-industrialising here, while, on the other hand, the global automotive market is growing by 3 % a year.
No, we do not need to just close down car factories, we need investments in future technologies to ensure that the automotive industry remains in Europe and is competitive on the global market. This also means that global corporations must be urged to exercise restraint, as they also make global investment decisions and do not necessarily place a particular emphasis on European interests. A more active role is therefore required from the European Commission!"@en1
