"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, we need an industrial policy in Europe, but an industrial policy that looks to the future, a green industrial policy. The Greens are grateful to Mrs Zrihen for reminding us that Europe used to be based on three pillars: environmental, social and economic. We find that quite a number of our conservative friends, some liberals and unfortunately also some socialists are forgetting, or are trying to forget, Gothenburg and the need to include the environment. We cannot go back to the scientism of the 1960s and industrial policies that included no risk assessment or ecology, which are the very foundation of the twenty-first century.
That is why, as Greens, we want a better targeted research policy and are very much looking forward, impatiently, to the DG Environment’s document on environmental technologies, which has been promised for December, because environmental technologies are one of the responses to future world markets.
Another thing we need is social cohesion. One point on which there really is a dividing line in our Assembly is that some believe that creativeness can be created by confusing a large proportion of European citizens. As Greens, we believe that Europe’s strength lies in its fabric and its social cohesion: we have to preserve that.
Another thing we must maintain and develop is the non-market sector. It is absolutely clear that the market sector rests on the non-market and that Europe lacks a non-market policy in areas like education, infrastructure and creativeness.
Finally, world trade policy. I think that with India, China and Russia we are witnessing a new momentum in world politics: these are countries with a very good level of education. They are therefore going to have engineers, but for decades they will be paid much less than ours. How are we going to deal with this reality in a world where we give priority only to competition instead of partnerships?"@en1
