What Isabella spoke about.

Madam President, ladies and gentlemen, Commissioner, the scarcity of raw materials – wood, plastics, metals – is hitting our real economy hard, penalising the restart. The environment is certainly important but, while here we discuss transition, out there factories stop because there are no microchips and construction stops because cement costs too much. Stocks are finite, logistics do not support demand and prices rise rapidly impacting citizens. In a nutshell, our recovery moves away as China recovers. We have been asking for months where Europe is. We do not live by rhetoric alone on the ecological transition, we must start again from production in Europe because we can no longer limit ourselves to importing. As we see, dependence costs entrepreneurs and citizens dearly, we must avoid the demonization of entire sectors such as steel and plastic, because without them we would not have goods for many daily activities. Finally, we must think - and the League has often asked for this - of a Green Deal that in this crisis dialogues with the business world rather than accusing it or hitting it with unnecessary taxes. Without quick answers, all of us consumers will be the new victims of this crisis. All these costs that companies cannot bear will be passed on to us, with the result of blocking the recovery, work and impoverishing the citizens who have already paid dearly for the pandemic.
