Translation of "Produktion verlagern" in English

Furthermore, companies would simply relocate and continue producing.

You are planning to expand or relocate a production site.

Companies transfer production to Eastern Europe or China because they want to cut costs.

Or a mobile phone manufacturer wants to relocate some of its production to Eastern Europe.

The question whether production will shift to third countries is often raised.

In the process, they would shift some of the policy emphasis from production to consumption.

The chemical fibres industry does not tend to shift easily, at least for the moment...

Need a financing solution for a major project? And you want to relocate your production activities abroad at the same time?

This free allocation aims at preventing companies moving their production abroad.

Lastly, we regret that the majority in Parliament has rejected the proposals we tabled, which, among other things, sought to preserve jobs, respect workers' and consumers' rights, fight child labour or slavery and oppose the importing of products from occupied territories, and which insisted on the need to withdraw European aid from companies and investors that relocate their production.

Major producers can shift their production to countries where it is permitted and then sell their products under the same name in countries where it is prohibited.

That is even more the case when we realise that an increasing number of companies is relocating, taking advantage of the reduced labour costs found in various countries, particularly China and India, often at the price of social, labour and environmental dumping.

In the light of the growing number of enterprises that are ceasing to operate, or relocating production, leading to an increase of unemployment in several regions, I would like to put the following questions on behalf of the International Trade Committee:

It endorses the rationale that has led this Group, a world leader in the manufacture of printing machines, to relocate with the aim of increasing its profits.

They are the ones who relocate their production in search of higher profits; they are the ones who, owing to their domination of distribution, come away with the lion’s share.

There is a long list of companies that have made considerable profits in part through the sacrifice, commitment and professionalism of their workers, and have then chosen to relocate, often to non-EU countries, unscrupulously dumping the resulting job and social crisis on the Member States.

Added to that is the fact that we are subjected to unparalleled competition within our internal markets, both as a result of goods imported from the countries mentioned, and because of the diabolical mechanism allowing European producers, who have perhaps also benefited from government funding for their activities, to relocate production and to import and market their products in the countries in which the brands originate.

The second is the claim that businesses are being encouraged to be socially responsible when all EU policies, and especially competition policy, actually encourage businesses to relocate and to look for the lowest fiscal, social, environmental and labour cost bidder, including within the EU.

The proposals also express disquiet at the Commission's intentions to review trade defence instruments according to the interests of firms which are relocating their production to countries where, because of the low wages and social and environmental standards, production costs are lower.

The World Trade Organisation agreements, accepted by Brussels, thus forced them to delocalise production in order to counter competition.

A different policy should also be applied to European industries that relocate outside the EU and engage in unfair competition with respect to industries that continue to manufacture within the EU, perhaps through tax measures that counteract the advantage over companies that do not relocate, to achieve a new balance.

How can we avoid the situation that, when they come under pressure in India, they move to China to carry on exactly the same trade?

It is both an absurdity and a scandal that the European Union, by going as far as to subsidise those companies that transfer production to third countries, is sawing through the branch on which it sits.

We should not be surprised that European firms have moved production to Asia, where they can make the most of low social and environmental standards, in such a way that they can sell poor quality shoes, textiles, electronic equipment and other goods cheaply and at huge profits to Europeans who are, moreover, losing jobs on their home markets.

As a result, firms based in the coastal provinces that have to move their production (and see no need to diversify away from China) can choose to relocate to China’s interior, rather than going abroad.

Indeed, if wage restraint were the main factor in Germany’s success, it would be hard pressed to outperform French, Italian, British, and Spanish exporters, who compete mainly on price by offshoring production to low-wage countries.

For this reason, more and more companies are coming to see the benefits of relocating the lower added-value part of their production processes to these areas.

Yet the number of EU companies that are moving elements of their production is growing and these companies account for thousands of jobs in the EU.

As to the alleged lack of production in the USA, it should be noted that it was only after the investigation period (IP) that the USA cooperating producer started to delocalise its production.
