lpv:translated text	"Madam President, the economic and financial crisis unfortunately does not stop at the doors of our European industries nor, at the moment, at those of the ArcelorMittal factory in Schifflange, the commune where I was born, where my father and my three brothers worked from the First World War until after the Second World War, and where I was Mayor for 15 years. I therefore understand the economic and social tragedy facing us and, above all, facing the employees, my fellow citizens of the commune where I was born and where I still live. I know that some people think that industry is taking advantage of the current delicate economic situation in order to relocate its plants to regions that are believed to be more favourable and more conducive to profit-making. However, I cannot help but express my regret, as others have already done here, at the lack of power and dynamism of our supposed European industrial policy. I also regret, in particular, the fact that we constantly impose new regulations on our industries, be it through energy prices, excessive environmental protection requirements or highly prejudicial tax arrangements. All of this undermines their competitiveness in relation to their third-country competitors. All of the constraints that I have mentioned and the absence of a genuine industrial policy result in an unfavourable climate and limited development prospects for the industries still based in the European Union. The European Commission, with its often absurd proposals, and certain enlightened Members of this Parliament are the ones who are jointly responsible for the decisions that have harmed Europe’s heavy industry, including the steel sector, which is closing loss-making plants. I am therefore calling here for a renewed industrial policy that is worthy of the name, based on innovation, with a view to ensuring greater coordination of sectoral policies and more realistic climate change and environmental policies. It is true that the industries leaving Europe are no longer creating pollution here, but we will eventually import for sale on our market products from third countries that use production methods that create much more pollution than our methods. So that is our role here in the European Parliament. The national social partners and the national governments will be the ones responsible for managing the social and economic situations on the ground. I, personally, trust them to do so in my country."@en1
