lpv:translated text	"As usual, the European Parliament has debated the future of an industrial sector without considering the workers who keep it going, if only in a secondary role. For us, it is not a question of knowing whether that sector is competitive or not compared with products from elsewhere, and even less of advising the owners of the companies concerned how to become more competitive. Whether the textiles industry is competitive or not, it is deplorable that 850 000 jobs should have been axed! We are opposing this text, not because the textiles industry needs to be protected, but because its workers do, in the same way that we need to protect workers in other sectors, such as aeronautics or information technology, which are laying off just as many staff because they need to modernise. We are against the stupid market economy and against competition, for which the company owners and shareholders make the workers pay the full cost. In this competitive environment, it is not only the workers in poor countries, exploited and forced to earn low salaries, who lose out, but also the workers in the so-called rich countries, who are thrown out onto the streets by their employers. All the more reason why we are against workers in different countries being forced to compete against each other."@en1
