The Commission does not accept the status quo --------------------------------------------- The Commission is well aware that the large Community steel companies in Eurofer, whether because they fear they are not sufficiently prepared to cope with a liberalized market or because they wish to consolidate the good results of the previous year, are advocating that the quota system be continued without change: in other words they want to keep the status quo.
- 4 - La Commission n'accepte pas le statu quo La Commission n'ignore pas que les plus grandes entreprises siderurgiques de la Communaute reunies au sein d'Eurofer, qu'elles craignent de ne pas etre preparees a affronter un marche libere, ou qu'elles veuillent consolider les bons resultats du dernier exercice, preconisent la prolongation du systeme de quotas sans modification et donc le maintien du statu quo.
