lpv:translated text	"Banana growing represents the fourth biggest market in the world and only a limited number of producer countries are participating in it. Of the total production, only 20% is destined for international trade. On 15 December 2009, the EU, a group of Latin American countries and the United States reached an agreement regarding customs duties on banana imports. This ended a dispute in the World Trade Organisation centred on European discrimination against Latin American producers compared with African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) producers, imposing a review of EU policies and a gradual reduction from the current EUR 176 per tonne to a final value of EUR 114 per tonne by 2017. Therefore, the ACP countries will lose competitiveness, which, in spite of the exemption from customs duties that they enjoy, may have a negative economic and social impact. The agreement appears to have some advantages, but it is important to have an impact assessment with regard to the ability of the ACP countries to react to the changes in the market."@en1
