"Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, I would like to thank Ms Sartori because, with this initiative, we are finally able to discuss a problem that has affected hundreds of thousands of workers who, due to rash decisions that force the European Union to tackle climate change unilaterally and excessively, face losing their jobs. Steelworks, as major energy consumers, are even more crippled by the European Commission’s decision to withdraw some of the ETS quotas already distributed and its determination to set a minimum price for future auctions.
This decision by the European Commission, which I criticised during a debate within the Committee on the Environment, Public Health and Food Safety, will mainly affect the steelworks themselves, which already lost 10 % of their market share in 2011 and in 2012 stand to lose a further 12 %. The only solution to avoid unfair competition from third countries is to impose import tariffs, in proportion to the difference in the cost of steel production in Europe and in the third country."@en1
