"Madam President, this banana is the stuff of war – an EU-inspired trade war with America that has lasted 16 years and has now been lost spectacularly.
The EU has now been fined nearly USD 200 million by the World Trade Organisation and been forced to drop its illegal tariffs – all because of the protectionism that lies at the heart of the EU, in this case protection of French colonies. May I say that this very banana which I bought today in the European Parliament supermarket is illegal! It does not conform to EU rules in terms of the length, the width and the straightness of bananas. What is going on?
With such barmy protectionism and such silly rules as this, one has to ask: is the European Union crazy or has it merely gone bananas?"@en1
