"Judging from the burst of ‘enthusiasm’ with which Members of this Parliament met the vote on tariff reduction for bananas imported from Latin America, it became clear that many fellow Members fail to understand how important this issue is to the European Union. Every year, we approve a budget including funding for aid, including aid to Latin American countries. If, today, we reduce import tariffs on bananas from Latin America, this produce will become more competitive. This means that the number of bananas grown will be increased, and extra jobs will be created, which will enable financial assistance to Latin American countries to be reduced. This means that the European Union will make significant savings on the funds dedicated to relations with developing countries. However, that is already the next issue. I supported this initiative knowingly, without a smile on my face."@en1
