"Mr President, I would like to say to the Minister that effective trade defences are a precondition to free and fair trade. The closure of the SSI steel plant in Redcar in my constituency, Minister, shows the human cost of your inaction in the Council to ensure fair prices in global markets. Our current trade defence instruments have been insufficient to shield our manufacturing industries, particularly the steel industry, from unfair competition and excess capacity.
A majority of EU Member States support their modernisation, as do MEPs and the Commission, but in an example of how the EU does not force its will on Member States, the UK Government and its allies have been able to block this reform for more than two years. Well, today it is time for the UK to use its real influence in Brussels to support the EU reforms needed by our communities, rather than hindering them further. We do not need to hurt our industries anymore. Save our steel industry."@en1
