"On 15 December 2009, the EU, a group of Latin American countries and the United States reached an agreement on the EU’s tariffs on banana imports, bringing to a close a protracted dispute over the EU’s preferential treatment of banana imports from African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries to the detriment of bananas from Latin America. Under the terms of the deal, the EU will gradually cut its tariffs on imports of Latin American bananas from the current level of EUR 176/tonne to EUR 114/tonne by 2017, which will naturally have a negative impact on banana-producing ACP countries and EU outermost regions. It is therefore important to carefully assess the repercussions of the agreement and to adopt appropriate support measures for producers in ACP countries and EU outermost regions. In this respect, in addition to the planned supplementary aid for the main ACP banana-exporting countries – known as the Banana Accompanying Measures (BAM) – it is essential to make changes to the support package for EU domestic producers within the budget of the Programme of Options Specifically Relating to Remoteness and Insularity (POSEI), so as to help them adapt to the effects of the changes on the world market in bananas."@en1
