lpv:translated text	"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, the questions posed in the Commissioner’s communication are very important. Faced with the changes that have taken place, and that are still taking place, within national and European industry, Europe has the problem of managing industrial restructuring processes, which have an extremely serious effect on workers and on the various regions. Mr Harbour was wondering just now what the topic of the future might be. This is my answer: ‘The topic of the future is how to manage these processes’. There are many cases nowadays in relation to which problems are arising, problems that go by the name of relocation, non-compliance with trade union agreements, and job losses. They range from the case of General Motors to that of so many small and medium-sized enterprises right up to what is taking place, for example, in the Eaton factory, in Piedmont, a business in which the restructuring process and the failure to comply with trade union agreements are seriously threatening jobs. In order to deal with this, we need to adopt a firm, Europe-wide stance, involving the effective management of these processes, and this will also increase the consistency of the Lisbon objectives themselves and the social dialogue itself, which is regarded as one of the pillars of this strategy. I therefore call for a common position to be adopted in order to give strength and substance to the very action of the European institutions, beginning with Parliament, in this field. I should like to highlight one final aspect: it now seems entirely clear that the issue of restructuring requires a review of the Community instruments available. Here is just one example – and I should like to hear the Commissioner’s opinion on the matter – if we really want to manage these processes, then we cannot avoid the need to strengthen and reform European works councils. We need to update the directive if we want to meet the new requirements in this regard. I hope that Parliament as a whole and the Commission can adopt a common position on this."@en1
