"Madam President, I would like to thank the rapporteur, who has been to my region of Asturias which, many years ago, shaped the origins of Spain and of Europe, and which, thanks to its coal and to its people, is at the forefront of modern society.
Mining areas need to continue in this commendable revitalising effort without encountering obstacles from the European Union. Instead, they should have its encouragement. We need to remove the threat of indigenous coal mining coming to an end, and instead enable this strategic sector to survive in a reasonable manner. We also need to help the sector to achieve competitiveness within a reasonable period, without penalising the businesses later. Above all, we need to achieve pollution-free extraction soon.
The substantial investments in clean coal must go primarily to benefit Europe and its own mining areas. It is absurd for those who oppose European coal to defend or tolerate coal from other parts of the world, which is produced with greater environmental impact, a huge lack of safety and salaries that are not competitive. This situation will discriminate against our own territory and it is simply intolerable that it should arise. Let us maintain our mining sector by taking advantage of new technologies."@en1
