"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the expected adoption of the amendments to the safeguard clause and the stabilisation mechanism for bananas is a key step towards Parliament adopting the two agreements with Central America, Colombia and Peru. Those agreements are essential for the future of the European Union.
These clauses, along with the progress made by Colombia, acknowledged by the political resolution adopted by this House on 13 June, as well as the support of the Central American countries and Peru for this regulation, should provide the final approval for the ratification of those agreements. These clauses will allow our producers to progressively adapt to a free-trade framework that will benefit us all.
At a time when the United States and Asian countries are signing free-trade agreements with American countries, such as the Central America Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) or the agreements between the United States and Colombia and Peru, respectively, we cannot allow the leading trading power in the world, the European Union, to continue to miss opportunities. In this sense, I share the concern of the European business sector at the delay in these agreements coming into force."@en1
