lpv:translated text	"Mr President, I speak on behalf of the draftsman of the Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy, Mr Valdivielso de Cué, not because he does not support the report, but because he cannot be here today. The Committee on Industry, External Trade, Research and Energy supported the proposals put forward by Ms Randzio-Plath by a very substantial majority: 39 votes in favour to 9 votes against. The intention is to send out a clear signal against South Korea's dumping policies, which in recent decades have driven European shipbuilding to the brink of collapse by maintaining subsidies and benefits for companies in receivership. For a year now, we have pursued a policy which aimed to reach agreement with South Korea. A protocol to this effect was drawn up on 5 June 2000. South Korea did not honour it. In December 2000, we agreed to appeal to the WTO panel. South Korea did not respond. For this reason, the Commission quite rightly decided in July that temporary assistance of up to 14% may be paid by the national authorities, not from the European purse, for a specific number of ships until the end of 2002. This is the issue today. In line with Ms Randzio-Plath's proposals, we want to extend the categories of ships to include ferries for trains, persons and road vehicles, as well as natural gas and petroleum gas tankers, and we want to extend the term until 2003; in other words, we are in favour of a two-year period. We ask you to endorse this draft report and clearly reject the Liberals' motion which calls for the entire draft report to be dismissed. South Korea has the solution in its hand. None of us wants long-term subsidies. However, this is our only opportunity to exert pressure on behalf of the European shipbuilding industry on this difficult issue."@en1
