lpv:translated text	"In view of the situation of the trade in bananas, whereas bananas are the world’s fourth biggest agricultural export and their production has a major impact on local communities, and whereas the EU’s tariff-rate quota system has created the conditions which enable the African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries to export substantial quantities of bananas to the EU and has protected a large number of jobs linked to banana production, my favourable position on the subject underlines the fact that the agreements reached settle the various disputes that have arisen so far. In saying that, I wish to stress that the EU will gradually cut its import tariff on bananas from Latin America, and therefore the ACP banana-exporting countries will receive extra support through a new programme – the ‘Banana Accompanying Measures’ (BAM). I also believe that due account should be taken of the socioeconomic importance of the banana sector as a means for achieving social and economic cohesion, on account of the income and employment that it generates."@en1
