"Madam President, three years ago, Nokia announced that it was discontinuing mobile phone production at its factory in Bochum and heading for more cost-competitive regions. This decision affected 2 300 employees at that time. The relocation of production to Romania cost Nokia more than EUR 82 million. However, we now have, a month ago, the management of the Finnish manufacturer announcing the closure of its factory in Cluj, with 2 200 workers being made redundant. What concerns me is that, on this occasion, Nokia is leaving one of the most favourable convergence regions in the EU in terms of cheap, accessible labour and is possibly leaving the EU, opting perhaps for the more attractive Asian markets in terms of production and consumption. I would like to ask the Commission what urgent measures can be taken in the areas of employment, research and innovation to win back the relocations from the EU to third countries, the full brunt of which we are feeling."@en1
