"Mr President, following on from meetings with workers and company representatives from the textile and clothing industry in Portugal, it must be stated once again that measures must be taken at European level, as a matter of urgency, to halt the further deterioration of a situation in which companies are closing down and unemployment is on the rise, with the social impact that that implies for thousands of workers and their families.
It is impossible to understand why the Commission has been putting off taking the immediate action that is required. In light of the seriousness of the current situation in the sector, it is appalling that the Commission has postponed making a decision on formally beginning the process to activate the safeguard clause, and that it has in fact triggered a so-called investigation, which could take months.
The socio-economic situation in some of the regions most reliant on the sector is serious and could become even worse if the Commission and the Council continue to shirk their responsibilities."@en1
