"I voted in favour of this amended proposal because this agreement has major implications for the agricultural sector and particularly significant repercussions for banana exports to the European market. In practice, the provisions of the agreements mean that the EU market will become more open to imports mainly of bananas, sugar and beef, while, at the same time, the EU will be able to increase its capacity to export other agricultural products, such as dairy products, cereals, pork and spirits, to these countries. Both the agreement with Colombia and Peru and that signed with the six Central American countries contain a chapter on mutual recognition of geographical indications, which will enable the EU to protect around 200 geographical indications. Out of all the exports by these countries to the EU, bananas are the star agricultural product, mainly from Colombia and Costa Rica, and, to a much lesser extent, from Panama, Honduras, Peru and Guatemala. The agreements provide for further reductions in the tariff applied by the European Union to banana imports, improving the terms for Latin American countries wishing to export to the European market."@en1
