lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Commissioner, I cannot share the optimism of those who think that the safeguard clauses, as amended, are enough to protect EU banana production. They are not. These clauses have nothing to do with ‘safeguard’ except the name. Unless the plan is to safeguard wholesale agreements that neither the Commission nor the signatory Member States are prepared to question and do not want to change. These agreements, as you know – and Mr Mato Adrover has reminded you – are very detrimental to the banana industries of the outermost regions. After all, the mechanisms that activate these banana clauses are such as to become inoperable, almost virtual. However, we are now being asked to applaud the illusion of production! Despite these clauses, the banana industries of the West Indies have been left at the mercy of unfair competition from the exporting industries of Latin America and the blind trade liberalisation that the Commission wishes to impose. I therefore call on my colleagues to vote in favour of the amendments I have tabled, which provide minimum protection for the banana industries of the outermost regions and the jobs that depend on them."@en1
