I have abstained on this report, which does not lay down a pro-active strategy to cope with the seriousness of the situation. I also wish to denounce the climb down of the committee, recorded yesterday in a meeting with the Chinese Government. To derogate from the agreement on the new quotas that was signed only in July and that was in force from 2005 is unacceptable. The commitments made must be respected, and the policy of fait accompli adopted by the large distributors cannot be endorsed, as it would thus put thousands of jobs at risk. The committee has delayed bringing in the import controls needed to launch the safeguard clauses provided for in the WTO and it has not organised itself in order to lay down minimum social and environmental rules in international trade. Today, it refuses to propose a ‘textile plan’ that is equal to the challenges: a shortage of funds for research and innovation, a lack of significant support for technological and social conversion or for training, and no revival of the Euro-Mediterranean area, with common customs duties. Millions of jobs and a still promising industrial sector are being sacrificed by a negligent EU policy."@en1
