lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of the report on the proposal repealing the Council Regulation on the tariff rates for bananas. The EU’s banana import regime allowed 775,000 tonnes of the fruit from ACP countries to enter the EU duty-free each year, with a EUR 176/t tariff on bananas from all other exporters (most-favoured nation (MFN) suppliers). Many Latin American countries long insisted that this import regime illegally discriminated in favour of bananas from ACP countries and violated WTO rules on quantitative restrictions. Under the terms of the deal, the EU will gradually cut its tariffs on Latin American banana exports, until they are reduced to the level of EUR 114/t. The agreement also contains a clause stating that Latin American banana exporters will drop all actions against the EU in the WTO: ‘once the WTO certifies the EU’s new tariff schedule, Latin American banana-supplying countries will drop all their disputes on bananas with the EU at the WTO, and any claims they made against the EU after new member countries joined the Union, or when the EU changed its banana tariff in 2006’ and will not seek further tariff reductions on bananas in the Doha Round."@en1
