Mr President, Commissioner, the textile industry is in crisis. Two egocentric ideas are threatening it: the single-minded attitude that refuses to see what is wrong with the new international division of labour. Today, even the high-tech industries are leaving the continent. We must fight against this deindustrialisation of Europe and not surrender to this mirage of the tertiary sector above all. The other idea is that of the ideology of the EU which consists, in your view, Commissioner, in seeing this industry as a relict and China being forced to look outwards as a smooth transition.
We must open our eyes if we are to save this industry. We must re-establish the principle of Community preference as provided for in the Treaty of Rome so that competition is not competition between social systems. We must re-establish a competitive monetary policy so that we can fight on an equal footing against the monetary dumping of the dollar and of the yuan. In the immediate future, let us encourage China to concentrate on supplying its internal market, let us re-establish the quotas according to the 2004 standards and let us not forget the poor textile-exporting countries that are the main victims of this irresponsible policy. Mr Mandelson said that ‘the EU is the most open economy in the world’. I will translate: ‘It is the least protected economy in the world’."@en1
