lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, I believe that these Commission proposals will mean that a number of African, Caribbean and Pacific countries will go out of business. That will lead to poverty and even more deprivation. Yes, we have to simplify the system. It is far too complicated at the moment. But I believe those countries need time to diversify properly and that is why I would agree with a ten-year transitional period. Chiquita, Dole and Del Monte, who produce in Latin American countries, have not seen their production levels go down since 1993. Their access to the market has not gone down since 1993. All they want to do is get more access to the market at the expense of the ACP countries. Yes, we have to find a solution. Producers in the UK are being held to ransom by the USA. We must not let ACP countries go to the wall just to save companies in the EU. This is not just about bananas; it is about trade with developing countries overall."@en1
