lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, we cannot address the Presidency, since it is not here. We spend our time, in our constituencies and our countries, defending Europe, saying: ‘There will be no way out of the crisis without Europe!’. Europe is complicated: it is made up of 27 states, soon to be 28, and it is always extremely difficult to come to and implement European decisions quickly. Forgive me, Commissioner, but when I listen to you, I think: ‘I hope workers in the photovoltaic sector are not watching the video of your speech!’, because they are going to say to themselves: ‘Is this the Europe that is supposed to be protecting me?’. For years, we have been told that the fight against climate change, renewable energy objectives, green industry and the green economy would be pillars of European growth and the European economy. Today, what are we seeing? We are seeing European institutions that are, in part, petrified by China, and which are taking months and months to potentially react or take provisional measures. How can we justify to these workers, and to all those who are fighting for Europe to protect industry and protect workers, the fact that the United States have, in the space of a few weeks, taken strong measures, imposing import tariffs of up to 250 %, while in Europe, we finally got around to opening an investigation in September and may have provisional measures by July, or failing that, by the end of the year? It is true that has already closed its sites in Germany; it is true that the news about is now history. How many small and medium-sized enterprises are in difficulty today, however? Even if they do not make it into the news, they are in difficulty. Thousands or even tens of thousands of jobs are under threat. So, Commissioner, on behalf of the Committee, we urge you to accelerate the process of introducing provisional measures. Europe was a leader, with ambitious goals on renewable energy and a strong renewable energy industry working alongside it. Today, we are losing that industry, while a real trade war is taking place between the United States and China in the strategic sector of renewable energy, which is so crucial to our competitiveness and our future energy policy. It seems that today, the European Union has once again opted to wait indefinitely. At this rate, the decision will be taken by default. When there is no European photovoltaic industry left, there will no longer be any point in taking measures: you will be able to rest at ease!"@en1
