lpv:translated text	"Madam President, several of us participating in this debate have started by saying ‘at last’. That probably says something about the status of industrial policy in the social debate and in politics for rather a long time. However, now industrial policy is back in any case – I think that is clear from this report, too. The service sector will continue to be important, but it is also becoming clear that it is highly dependent for its development on us having strong industrial production and a strong industrial sector. These two things go hand in hand. Thus, industrial policy is central to one of the most important political issues: work for everyone, full employment. However, if modern industrial policy stopped there, nothing would have happened over the last 25 years. Modern industrial policy is so much more than that. Today, it also involves playing a part in the major transition – the radical switch to environment and climate sustainability – and not posing a barrier to it, but actually contributing to this transition. This is currently an element in the competitiveness of industry – that is clear when you look at the investments that are being made in a number of our competitor countries. Access to raw materials is part of this – a requirement for industry therefore, but, at the same time, also part of the transition. It concerns everything from energy efficiency to resource management and recycling, for example, in the form of what we refer to as urban mining. Another key issue for a modern and sustainable industry is recurrent training programmes. We will not, and we must not, compete on the basis of low wages and poor working conditions, but on the basis of qualified and skilled people who work, and who want to work, in industry."@en1
