lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the motion for a resolution on the common organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables, especially dried fruit and nuts, is most opportune and we should give it our full support. The present economic climate has dangerously upset the delicate competitive balance for Community producers in this sector and the Commission needs to react immediately in order to prevent them from going under altogether. We are all aware of the importance of this sector, of which previous speakers have painted a dramatic picture. The facts of the matter, and the present economic climate which I referred to earlier are as follows, especially for our products. As you know, the devaluation of the Turkish lira, on the one hand, and the particularly aggressive policy of other producers, such as the USA, on the other, have put Community producers in a most unfortunate position. So what are we proposing in order to help the Commission? That programmes and aid which are about to expire be extended and that urgent, effective support be given to Community producers and ways be found of supporting producers, especially in the present economic climate. I also want to point out, as other speakers have done, that the producers of these products, especially dried fruit and nuts, are small, poor producers and, more specifically, Mediterranean producers. Their organisations fall short when it comes to pooling their products and competing with their own resources on this difficult market, as I mentioned earlier. So what we want, in addition to any other measures, is for special attention to be paid to producer organisations and for ways to be found of supporting them, so that they can organise themselves efficiently and deal with the problem. So I too am adamant. We must vote in favour of this motion for a resolution and we want the Commission to respond to this concern on our part. ***"@en1
