"Madam President, the closure of Arcelor affects 400 workers in Sestao (Vizcaya) in the Basque Country, my own part of the world. They will be unemployed for two months, because of the downturn in construction and the steel market, and strong competition from south-east Asia.
I hope they can use the European Social Fund and the European Globalisation Adjustment Fund, as these are committed workers, true professionals, who need a future, as otherwise there will be significant consequences for the Basque Country and its 2 200 000 people.
Commissioner, this resolve needs to go hand in hand with an industrial strategy for Europe, a firm commitment to innovation, training for the new jobs and the management of existing knowledge, because otherwise we run the risk of losing a strategic sector, and making Europe a poorer place for its citizens.
For that reason, Commissioner, I ask you all to show firm commitment and leadership in the intelligent management of European funds, and to set out some bold strategies so that we can build the future."@en1
