lpv:translated text	"Mr President, a few days ahead of the abolition of the existing quotas on the international textiles and clothing trade, there is great concern over the future of thousands of companies and of more than 2.5 million workers concentrated mainly in Southern European countries. This sector has already shed more than 1 million jobs in the last ten years. I regret that the debate we requested on this extremely important issue has not taken place here in this House. It is crucial not only that we announce possible measures to prevent companies from closing and millions of workers from losing their jobs, and to dispel the threat of poverty and social exclusion that hangs over large areas in which these companies are heavily concentrated, as is the case in Portugal; it is also crucial that such measures be implemented. Hence the question that I ask once again: how will the impact of abolishing the quota system in those countries with the greatest concentration of the textiles and clothing industry be taken into account so that unemployment is prevented from getting any worse and so that this extremely important industry is defended? I ask you, Commissioner, to ensure that this question reaches the President of the Commission, who did not deign to hear our question."@en1
