"Mr President, the trade agreement with the Central American countries, Colombia and Peru is a significant agreement and the idea behind the safeguard clause, with all the amendments we have presented, is for it to be a quick, easy and guaranteed process. We have presented amendments to protect European production, in accordance with the Treaties, and to establish safety mechanisms for both European production and production in the countries where the agreement applies. The outermost regions need protection given the lack of diversification of crops and the economic aspect, as a large number of jobs are affected – over 10 000 direct jobs and 35 000 indirect jobs in Spain, in a population that has been suffering unemployment – and because of their specific nature. Bananas in the Canary Islands, for example, have a very specific place in agriculture, culture and gastronomy. The agreement is also required where it will be applied – Central America, Colombia and Peru – given that trade is essential for development, and development means workers’ rights, sustainability and profits for the producer."@en1
