"Mr President, Commissioner, this proposal to reform the system of production aid for banana producers is a perfect example of Article 299(2), which provides for specific treatment for the outermost regions on account of their particular characteristics, being implemented in the farming sector.
In the outermost regions, banana production has undoubted economic, social and in particular environmental importance. It is vital therefore that it be maintained, and that is precisely the purpose of this reform. I wish to congratulate the Commission, which has outlined the right path forward: the management of aid via the POSEI programmes, greater flexibility for the Member States in distributing these resources and an end to the isolation of producers from the market, regarding which the producers’ warnings must immediately be heeded.
Lastly, the Commission must pay very close attention to the development of the sector. It may become necessary to change marketing conditions that adversely affect producers' incomes, and the Commission must respond appropriately to such a situation by taking the necessary measures."@en1
