lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I should like to begin my speech this evening by pointing out some of the facts. Civil sector shipbuilding in Europe still employs 250 000 people, and it is a high-tech industry. Shipbuilding is an industry for developed countries, not an industry for low-wage countries. Finally, public aid for shipbuilding is now no longer possible in Europe, as was confirmed by the Council of Ministers on 5 December. Yet the same Council gave the Commission a mandate to propose to the next Council in May 2001 a mechanism affording protection against unfair competition from Korean shipyards. Personally, I feel we are heading for a conflict with Korea, and that no solution will be found between now and then. I would like, finally, to remind you that the Council asked the Commission to look into the possibility of facilitating access to aid for research and development. In such circumstances, our discussions will focus on whether shipbuilding will be taken into consideration in the Sixth Framework Research and Development Programme (FRDP). The fifth programme actually contained a line on “land transport and marine technologies” including the draft presented by Commissioner Busquin, based on focussing resources. This line no longer exists. Of course, the industry expressed its concern to me, in my capacity as rapporteur, and to many of my fellow Members. This evening, then, I would like to ask you in the strongest terms, Mr Monti, to please outline just what you intend to propose, in response to the requests from the Council of 5 December, in order to facilitate the return to forms of aid for research and development, to support and undertake commercial measures against unfair competition by Korea and, finally, to propose an appropriate temporary aid mechanism, while awaiting the outcome of the procedure in the WTO."@en1
