". Mr President, allow me first of all to spare a thought for the workers in Florange and those in Liège, the former faced with waiting for a possible buyer, and the latter faced with a social plan they consider to be hugely inadequate. Steel is nevertheless a basic backbone industry for the economy. Commissioner, Europe needs to be re-industrialised. It is up to you, the European Commission – and why not on 6 December – to launch a ‘Steel’ initiative linked to the Framework Programme for Research and Innovation, a coordinated initiative at EU level that will make the Member States cooperate with each other instead of leaving to the large iron and steel groups the right to decide on the life or death of their subsidiaries, including those which have invested in tooling or human capital. These are large groups, which profit from fiscal non-harmonisation or, worse still, which play with the advantages they obtain. Commissioner, regulation will not take place by itself. It has to be organised. It is unacceptable that CO emission quotas have been diverted to non-European subsidiaries and even accumulated in reserve. At EU level, there is a surplus of 950 million emission quotas; the runaway champion of all categories of this accumulation of reserves is obviously ArcelorMittal, which, in Seraing, made the reopening of a blast furnace subject to the allocation of an emission right. In addition to the steel question, there is obviously the issue of economic redeployment of Europe, an ambitious Europe with ambitious policies. What is certain is that this will not be done without steel, and as far as I am concerned, I would like that steel to be European."@en1
