"Allow me to begin by expressing my full agreement with the conclusions from Mr Goerens’s report on the need for the Development Cooperation Instrument (DCI) and its benefit to the European Union’s policies to continue.
I also agree that the European Union must find a way to continue supporting banana-growing countries, even after the World Trade Organisation banned the granting of soft terms from the start of this year. Incidentally, the Commission has not, strangely enough, carried out even once, between 1994 and now, an assessment of the assistance’s impact on these 12 countries, which is something that must be changed in the future.
The point which the Committee on Budgets is insisting on and which we do not agree with is resources being cut from other policies so that the EUR 190 million in question is allocated for the next three years. There is a principle which we insist must be protected, namely, new policies must be funded using new resources. This means that this new policy, even though it could be provided for in the financial framework from the European Commission, ought to be provided for in the budget and not funded at the expense of other programmes."@en1
