lpv:translated text	"We Swedish Social Democrats believe it to be unreasonable, for reasons relating to both the environment and competition, to retain subsidies for uncompetitive coal mines. At the same time, we consider it necessary to implement comprehensive employment and environmental initiatives in those regions affected by the closures that will probably result from the discontinuation of the subsidies. Overall, we think that the Commission’s proposal on this matter is balanced and takes good account of both of these aspects. The subsidies will be phased out, but this will be carefully managed, taking into consideration both jobs and the environment. We have therefore chosen to vote consistently in favour of the Commission’s line. As regards the question of allowing the possibility of the continued operation of mines which become profitable during the closure period, we believe, like the Commission, that it would be wrong to include this option. In order for the aid that is granted to be used in the right way, it must be based on a definitive closure plan. With regard to the exact year in which the closure aid is to end, we have no strong preferences, but we nevertheless believe that the Commission’s proposal of 2014 is more appropriate than the rapporteur’s proposal of 2018."@en1
