"Mr President, it is clear from listening to tonight’s debate that colleagues from all over Europe are concerned about the crisis in the steel industry, and I would like to thank the UK Government for calling the emergency meeting to see what more we can do to help.
Yes, this is partly due to overcapacity in the global market, but decisions we take now in this sector have long-lasting consequences, because moth-balling is not viable. You cannot just switch a blast furnace back on. So we need to make important decisions and we need to make them quickly. Commissioner, please can you fast-track your investigations on unfair trade allegations and use all your trade tools?
And, as regards energy-intensive industries, some Member States want to give more support but they need to have state-aid clearance. I am not asking you to bend or break competition rules, but rather to make the decisions quickly please, Commissioner. Competitiveness in this industry is key, but we need to use all the tools in our toolbox and to act together quickly."@en1
