lpv:translated text	"Mr President, the European Commission’s proposed reform of the common organisation of the market in bananas is consistent with the philosophy of the 2003 reform of the common agricultural policy. It is also consistent with the commitments undertaken by the Union during negotiations at WTO level. Nonetheless, it is worth assessing the impact of the reforms on the level of banana production in the outermost regions of the Union. There is a certain similarity between the reform of the market in bananas and the forthcoming reform of the market in soft fruits. The regional market of the banana sector is just as important as the market for soft fruit. The degree of threat to the stability of rural areas and to the livelihoods of the growers and their families is also similar. Both products are very labour intensive. In addition, it should be noted that the market in soft fruit is under greater threat from unauthorised action by third countries than the market in bananas. In the case of soft fruit only temporary antidumping measures exist, while in the case of the banana market an effective single tariff system is in place. Some of the support mechanisms proposed for the market in bananas would resolve the difficulties of the market in soft fruit. The European Commission should therefore consider applying them to it, particularly the system of area payments for growers of soft fruit intended for processing. Let us hope that the measures proposed will have a positive impact on the situation of banana producers. However, we are still waiting for an account of the true costs of this reform."@en1
