lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the theory that made its choices about restructuring according to political criteria seems to me to be very tenuous. Italy is a country that is home to a large automobile manufacturer, which is Italian and which has restructuring policies that it implements, of necessity, in Italy. The issue is, as has been said, that the automobile market is a mature market; automobile production has shifted, little by little, to many countries, in particular countries in the Far East, and there are probably lots of Members who have bought Korean, Japanese or even Indian cars. The issue is that firms need to be restructured because the market changes and greater competitiveness is needed in the sector. I do not think that it will help us to discuss the choices made by individual firms; in my view, these choices should be left to the firms themselves, for the sake of competitiveness of the system and long-term employment: there is no point thinking that you can sustain employment today when there is a risk of losing it tomorrow. What can be done is to guarantee a great deal more than the institutions do today; a lot more than the European Commission – which currently assigns its budget to agriculture and declining sectors and not into innovative sectors – has done to date; to insist on the quality of the workforce in general, on training and on technological innovation. We need employment and we cannot expect it to come from declining sectors that need to be restructured. We must create the conditions for the workforce to be in the sectors of the future and not those of the past."@en1
