"Madam President, pursuant to Rule 152 of the Rules of Procedure, I would like to move that we postpone the debate on zero-rating practice to the November II part session in Strasbourg and replace it with Council and Commission statements on the outcome of the 9 November Competitiveness Council in relation to the steel sector.
As many colleagues are aware, the steel industry across Europe has been facing unprecedented pressures in recent years. We cannot ignore the fact that the industry is facing unfair competition and anti-competitive market behaviour. Chinese steel exports have risen by 28% in the first six months of the year, flooding the market with steel that is sold at a loss. This is dramatically destabilising the global steel market and the flow of trade, risking European steel manufacturing as a whole and in my country in particular.
This matter is urgent and no harm will be caused by postponing the debate on zero-rating by two weeks. Can I therefore ask colleagues to show support for the steel industry in Europe and vote in favour of adding this urgent debate to our session agenda? On behalf of my group, I request a roll-call vote on that matter."@en1
