"Madam President, the key words here are ‘reindustrialising’, ‘competitiveness’ and ‘sustainability’. Reindustrialising suggests we were industrialised, we lost it and we now need to get it back; this is highly commendable. Competitivness and sustainability, I think, are different a kettle of fish and are more problematic.
I have come from a meeting where we were discussing the impact of gas prices on fertiliser, and in the course of that discussion, Commissioner Tajani was quoted as saying that energy prices would lead to an industrial massacre in Europe. If he said that, he is probably correct, because on the one hand we have our dependency on Russian gas, which they use as a political football, making gas far cheaper for Russians and far dearer for us. How can we compete against them?
On the other hand we have the Americans developing shale gas, with the price of energy going down there and up in Europe. How can we compete against them? We have to be far more sustainable, utilise our resources and bring down energy costs before we can become industrialised, let alone reindustrialised."@en1
