"I voted for the amendments on the proposal for a regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council implementing the bilateral safeguard clause and the stabilisation mechanism for bananas of the trade agreement between the European Union and Colombia and Peru. Appropriate safety mechanisms need to be introduced to prevent serious harm to banana growing in the EU, a sector which is of huge importance to the end agricultural production of several of the outermost regions.
The limited ability of these regions to diversify their economies, due to their natural characteristics, makes banana growing a particularly vulnerable production sector. It is therefore essential to create effective mechanisms for managing preferential imports from third countries, in order to guarantee that banana production in the EU, which is a crucial employment sector especially in the outermost regions, is maintained under the best possible conditions.
I voted in favour of complying with the international labour regulations drafted and monitored by the International Labour Organisation. Ensuring decent working conditions for all must be an absolute priority for this sector, and bananas imported from Colombia or Peru must be produced under decent social and environmental conditions and for a fair wage to prevent EU producers from becoming the victims of dumping."@en1
