lpv:translated text	"I voted against. Leaving aside the technical and financial aspects aimed at supporting the banana sector in 10 African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries, I rejected this report to ensure that the European Parliament’s powers are respected. After several months of tense negotiations, I am frankly disappointed that my colleagues have failed to understand what is at stake with this vote, preferring to sacrifice the rights of this House in the face of continual – and unjustifiable – threats by the Commission and the Council. While our fellow European citizens have the growing impression that democracy is labouring under the yoke of economic constraints, the European Parliament would have sent them a positive signal by strengthening the prerogatives conferred on it in 2007 and by defending those granted to it under the Treaty of Lisbon. The European Parliament, being on an equal footing with the Council, makes strategic decisions regarding the financing of development cooperation, and has a democratic right of scrutiny. By adopting this report today, Parliament has relinquished those two powers, following the false rumours that have been spread and the blackmail carried out by the Commission and the Council."@en1
