What Marie spoke about.

Madam President, I wanted to take the floor on the industrial competitiveness strategy, on which we will have to vote this week. Let us not be fooled: this strategy only has a name strategy. The last few months have shown us more than ever that the world is changing its times and changing very fast. While China massively subsidizes its domestic industries and blocks some global markets, such as solar technology, the United States is implementing a massive protectionist policy, of which our companies are the first victims. No more happy pseudo-globalization, no more free trade without constraint, no more hopes of reciprocity: it is high time to agree that the process of globalisation is receding, and that it is now necessary to change our ways of thinking. Let us not, once again, lag behind the great challenges facing us. Let us put in place real policies to repatriate our industrial capacities. Let us invest massively in the production capacities of the technologies of the future. Let’s develop ambitious industrial projects at European level, where every Member State willing to do so can make its contribution. Ladies and gentlemen, the stakes are enormous. This is obviously true of our ability to be sovereign in economic matters, but, more broadly, it is true of the stability of our societies. So let's live up to it and protect our industries.
