"Colombia and Central America will completely alter their trade relations with the European Union, opening markets by eliminating tariff barriers and facilitating trade. This report, drafted by Mr Lange, concerns the proposal for a regulation of Parliament and of the Council which applies the bilateral safeguard clause and the stabilisation mechanism for bananas of the trade agreement between the European Union and Colombia and Peru. As the rapporteur states, these agreements raised some technical and philosophical problems, which must be resolved. There are technical problems because we need to protect European producers from unfair competition and make the safeguard clauses work; and there are philosophical problems because on top of trade policy, we must include obligations regarding human rights, working conditions, the environment, and so on. While the outermost European regions are in a somewhat vulnerable competitive situation, the existence of safeguard clauses in accordance with World Trade Organisation provisions protects them. I regret that it has still not been possible to arrive at an agreement with Peru, and I hope that this will happen soon."@en1
