"Mr President, 1 700 jobs in my constituency in the West Midlands are seriously threatened by the collapse of Caparo Steel. Are these naturally threatened, outdated jobs in a declining industry? No, there are actually lots and lots – dozens, we hear – of potential buyers for these businesses, because these are very competitive, often high-tech, good businesses. So why has Caparo Steel collapsed, we ask? Well, not because the businesses are not competitive: it has collapsed because of price, because of dumping on the international market that the UK Government and our institutions here are not doing anything about.
Let the Commission have strength in this matter. Let us not confuse competitiveness with price, and let us not compete on price, because we cannot. Let us compete on the competitiveness that we should pride ourselves on."@en1
