"Mr President, Commissioner, we had a debate six months ago in this very House on the wave of redundancies in Europe in the wake of the economic crisis. We mentioned, in particular, the multinational Arcelor, which is present in nine EU Member States and is downsizing its production facilities due to subdued demand for steel.
After the shutdown of two blast furnaces in Belgium and Luxembourg and short-time working at a blast furnace in France, an estimated 6 000 direct jobs are reported to be under threat in 2012. In addition to unacceptable practices such as short-time working – a practice which ought to be better regulated – it is the wider issues affecting the European steel industry and adaptation to change that must be addressed as a matter of absolute urgency.
Six months ago, the Commission announced that, due to the economic crisis, a new consultation exercise on responsible management of downsizing operations needed to be carried out with both sides of industry and government authorities.
My question is quite simple: six months later, where have we got to on this?"@en1
