"It is impossible to separate the Geneva Agreement from the other agreements that the Commission has subsequently negotiated. Shortly after the Geneva Agreement was signed, Colombia and Peru obtained a greater tariff reduction, thus proving that the agreement provides no legal certainty and has not settled the banana dispute as it claims. This differential treatment prompted Ecuador and Guatemala to demand equal treatment and threaten to lodge further appeals at the WTO. Furthermore, this agreement seriously harms a sector that provides countless jobs not only in our ACP partner countries but also in the outermost regions (ORs). The aid the EU is providing to support producers in the ORs has been calculated on the basis of the laws approved at the WTO in 2006. However, neither the December 2009 agreement nor the agreement with the Andean countries was anticipated in the POSEI. As for the aid earmarked for ACP producers, it is not sufficient to enable them to adapt to the new tariff situation. To give one’s assent to this agreement is to support the Commission in a strategy that is inconsistent with the EU’s effort in favour of the ORs and the ACP countries."@en1
