"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I fully endorse the report by Mr Fruteau, whom I congratulate on his outstanding work, amending the Commission’s proposal. I support the objectives outlined in the report, which are as follows: to maintain Community banana production, in view of its vital contribution to employment, to economic and social development and to safeguarding the environment in banana-producing regions, especially in the outermost regions.
The second objective is to safeguard the incomes of banana producers and to prevent the economic situation of the banana sector from deteriorating. The third objective is to give banana-producing Member States control over the granting of aid, so that this can be done in the most effective way, taking account of the specific priorities of these regions. The report also provides for a specific report to be submitted by 2009 in the event of changes to the incomes of producers, for example if the tariff changes.
I do not find it acceptable, Commissioner, to make aid contingent on producers joining a producers’ organisation. I feel it would be more appropriate to leave the decision on such a requirement to the Member States. I therefore propose that this be taken into account and that the Council adopt it accordingly."@en1
