lpv:translated text	"I take note of the Commission Communication on the future of the textiles and clothing sector in the European Union. I cannot but support the parliamentary resolution on this issue. Faced with the challenges and dangers represented by the end of quotas on imports, the recent entry of China into the WTO, ‘imminent’ completion of the Doha round and the enlargement of the European Union, it is our duty to act to protect this sector. We can only encourage the measures that seek to favour new information and communication technologies and training. Adaptability is essential in this sector where methods change so much. It is an essential competitive advantage faced with imports from Asia. Research is, of course, equally essential. All this is not, however, enough to preserve a viable textile sector in Europe because China is also committed to research and to products with a high added value and never has any difficulty in quickly copying our innovations. This is why I particularly support the amendments calling for real support for the European textile and clothing sector and of the regions that are home to it through a specific Community programme."@en1
