"Mr President, last week Volkswagen unfortunately announced job cuts at its European factories, which may affect the plants at Pamplona in Spain, Brussels in Belgium and Palmela in Portugal.
In Germany too, 20 000 of the 100 000 workers at the plant may be laid off. That will mean the loss of one in five workers, and 2 400 jobs may go at the other plants.
If we add to that the problems that we have had with Opel and General Motors in Portugal, it is quite clear that we are facing a very serious problem, an industrial crisis that demands a response. In my view, we can no longer put off establishing a framework agreement with the entire European car industry and a code of conduct with the multinational companies, basically so as to guarantee jobs.
I think the time has come for the Commission and Europe’s institutions to take a very strong stand on this."@en1
