lpv:translated text	"The EU’s system for importing bananas – which the WTO panel declared to be discriminatory on 7 April 1999 – must be reformed. There is justification for showing consideration for banana producers in the ACP States and in the extremely peripheral areas of the Union, but there is no reason for special treatment in the field of trade. Import duties and production subsidies are incompatible with our liberal values. In our view, it is only through a system of free trade that long-term, sustainable, global economic development can be created. For that reason, the Commission’s proposal for a rapid transition to a system with fixed uniform rates of duty is a step in the right direction."@en1
