lpv:translated text	"The challenges of the global economy also apply to European industry and need to be solved quickly. I am pleased that the Commission has responded to the situation faced by EU industry and has put forward policy provisions to strengthen EU manufacturing. Significantly, the Commission stresses that there are industrial policy problems which must be solved at European level. These are matters of competition, common market regulation and social and economic cooperation. In truth, we need a new approach to industrial policy. With national and corporate competence, EU industry is expanding sectors, which use medium and high level technology and low or medium qualified labour, and therefore, is becoming less competitive when compared to countries with growing economies. However, the implementation of a new approach requires long-term action. Member States cannot reorganise their economies in a day. This is particularly true for the new Member States. In WTO talks on China's membership, the EU was represented by the European Commission which did not take into account future members' industrial situation. Paradoxically, the EU has a common trade policy, but does not have a common industrial policy. The textile, leather, footwear and furniture sector operations forecast in the Commission's communication are based only on research into competitiveness, the economic situation and place of manufacture, while, at a horizontal level it is forecast that these sectors will be reorganised. However, the results of this possible reorganisation will be of use to those companies which have transferred production or to countries which do not see a future for industry in the EU. This is demonstrated by the Commission's anti-dumping research, which aims to take into account the interests of businesses that have transferred production beyond the EU. Meanwhile, Member States’ industry is left to face unfair competition. Thus, the Commission should not prepare decisions, which contradict a communication that it has prepared itself, and implement protectionism of separate business representatives. In addition, I urge the Commission to prepare a long-term forecast and guidelines for the competitive development of EU industry during 2030-2050."@en1
