"− Mr President, Commissioner, based on the fact that in my view the agreements with Peru, Colombia and Central America are tremendously damaging for European banana producers, and the Canary Islands in particular, and that the only safety margin we have left is economic compensation via the Programme of Options Specifically Relating to Remoteness and Insularity (POSEI), which I hope is obtained, I have to express my satisfaction, given that these reports have included many of our proposals, which I am grateful for. The negotiated safeguard clauses have been improved and the stabilisation mechanism for bananas has been strengthened. There will be greater transparency and exhaustive monitoring of banana imports into the European Union with prior surveillance measures. Moreover, and what I believe is an essential point, the Commission shall present an annual report on how the clause is functioning, which should include an examination of the development of banana imports and their impact on European production. These are all very positive elements. European banana producers, all of which also come from the outermost regions, need help during these difficult times. There still some way to go, but this is a very significant step."@en1
