"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, this is an important decision. The debate has become quite heated but that is because the industrial and employment situation in our countries is extremely difficult. This is an important decision in both real and symbolic terms, since we are dealing with a matter of principle. We must send out a sign of legality and respect in view of the all of the efforts being made by our business world. When I say ‘our world’, I do not mean it in a protectionist sense; I mean that the business community looks to the decision-making in Strasburg and Brussels with a feeling of belonging, searching for guarantees that only the Commission, Parliament, our institutions, can provide for fairer trade.
However, we must tread cautiously: this is also a business world that looks at China as a great export opportunity, and that in certain sectors is actually managing to stay afloat precisely because of the market it has managed to develop in China. Thus we are not attempting to be protectionist and raise barricades. We simply do not want to be deceived, especially in an area such as photovoltaics, so crucial for our sustainable future.
However, Commissioner, we must try to speed up this investigation so that any compensation can be estimated and claimed much sooner than planned. Moreover, since all of this debate is really about what to do in the wake of something that has already happened, we must also work on prevention. We should therefore strengthen the bilateral agreements to avoid any repeat of this kind of situation with China or other countries in future."@en1
