lpv:translated text	"Transatlantic relations are now in stormy waters. The dingy of the European Union is struggling hard to cope with the waves of American power display. The steel crisis is mainly political. President Bush is backed internally by his electorate. Retribution or a political reaction were not likely from the outside world, which opened up the opportunity to pass on the problem of unemployment to the outside world. The European Union dingy is now wearily following a course of legal procedures. We must take full advantage of all the options and means available to us within the WTO. Our retaliation must be convincing. But even so, it does not give much hope of a positive outcome in the short term. Our boat should be big enough to weather the storms. But we also need good helmsmanship. A political crisis does require a political answer, and we must deliberate upon this. Meanwhile, I should like to urge the Commission, and above all, Commissioner Liikanen, to take political action internally. We must build a solid ship. We hardly have a steel policy left, let alone a steel strategy. We are on an ocean without any rescue boats for the workers. If there is anything to learn from the steel crisis, it is that European steel policy should be restored."@en1
