lpv:translated text	"As we have already said in previous discussions on this matter, the issue of delegated acts has dominated the discussion around the financing instrument for development cooperation, as in fact has happened with other financing instruments. In this case, well-founded concerns have been expressed, which we share, about a possible delay in the transfer of the funds foreseen in banana accompanying measures as a result of the current dispute between Parliament and the Council. Without detracting from the importance of this discussion, it would nevertheless also be worthwhile to look at the underlying questions arising from the agreement for the liberalisation of the banana trade signed by the European Union. We need to remember here that the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, which will be significantly affected by this agreement, despite not being properly involved in its negotiation, estimate the amount of aid necessary to maintain their banana sector at EUR 500 million. The amount proposed by the Commission is well below the estimated cost of the impact of this agreement. In Africa alone, approximately 500 000 people depend on the banana sector for their living. The sector is regarded as a focus of sustainable development, and this has made it possible to install health, water, energy and housing infrastructure. Free trade, to which this agreement opens the gates, will now put all that in jeopardy."@en1
