This report is symbolic of the widespread autism afflicting the economic and political elite and intelligentsia in Europe.
The European Union textile and clothing sector is extremely important for the economy and regional development. As a result of global deregulation, this sector is experiencing serious difficulties, sustaining relocations, numerous bankruptcies and, as a consequence, job cuts.
What is Europe proposing in order to defend and protect this sector? A headlong rush towards the dead end of global free trade! The Americans, however, have just shown us that, without borders, there can be no protection. In fact, they did not wait until they had plunged thousands of homes into financial difficulty and drafted the umpteenth useless report before they reacted. They acted and reacted quickly and effectively, as it was their duty to do to safeguard their interests, first and foremost.
Following the vote on 29 May, this report and the ideology underpinning it is an insult to everyone who has lost, or is on the verge of losing, their job. It contravenes the principle of Community preference and sets the stage for the collapse of this sector in the medium term."@en1
