"I voted in favour of this report because I think that overall, Mr Bütikofer has done an excellent job and that Parliament is duty-bound to give its opinion on such a strategically important issue. Raw materials are indeed the building blocks of industry and therefore of employment in the sector, not to mention representing the first step towards the availability of consumer goods which are so important for all of our well-being. Being born and growing up in peacetime – as I and many of my colleagues have been fortunate to do so – cannot mean that we allow ourselves to forget how essential it is to ensure that we have a continuous and constant supply of raw materials at prices that do not fluctuate excessively. I would pay particular attention to the relationship between the use of raw materials and the environment. A possible future tax must be calibrated in such a way so that it is not seen as the price to pay to buy the right to pollute, but as a genuine disincentive against poor working practices."@en1
