"Mr President, last Friday the SSI steel works at Redcar in my constituency entered into receivership and 1 700 direct jobs, plus as many as 6 000 jobs in the supply chain in the local economy, are now under threat. The UK Conservative Government has refused to consider giving state aid, arguing that it would be against the Commission’s state rules for steel. However, as the Italian Government has shown at the ILVA steel plant in Taranto, Sicily, this is simply not the case. Labour MEPs believe the time has come for the European Union to come together to deal with the global challenge of Chinese steel dumping, and the time has come for the European Union to update the rules on state aid for a now-globalised world. At the planned summit on UK steel, Government, industry and all stakeholders must come together and find a sustainable, viable future for this vital sector, rather than issuing meaningless platitudes. A plan is currently on the table to save part of the steel works, and I believe the receivers need to prioritise that, thereby securing the maximum number of jobs on Teesside."@en1
