"Clearly, I did not vote against this report because I am opposed to the idea of granting financial aid to African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) banana-producing countries, which have been affected by the reduction in customs duties on bananas imported from Latin American countries. On the contrary, the EUR 190 million aid package to be shared between 10 countries over four years seems to me to be quite justifiable. I am, however, very concerned by the way in which Parliament’s powers have been denied at every stage of the negotiations on this text. Even though the adoption of the Treaty of Lisbon means that Parliament is now on an equal footing with the Council when it comes to overseeing the Commission’s implementing powers, the Council has demanded the right to merely inform Parliament of the implementing measures that will be taken following the adoption of this text. The Council’s refusal to allow Parliament to exercise its legitimate right of scrutiny is completely unacceptable. For the purpose of condemning this refusal, and to avoid setting a precedent in future negotiations on financing instruments, I voted against Parliament’s adoption of this text."@en1
