"Parliament has just voted on a text establishing safeguard clauses for the banana sector within the framework of the association agreement with Central America. The safeguard clauses enable us to temporarily reinstitute normal customs duties or to suspend tariff liberalisation. The text recognises that there are problems in terms of employment rights in the countries concerned, although this recognition is not sufficient. The rapporteur also calls for greater consideration of social and environmental aspects within the framework of the forthcoming economic liberalisation. The Commission must understand this message. Moreover, the texts clearly state the need for greater consideration of overseas countries, where bananas are a pillar of the economy. This vote should not make us forget that the real issue for these regions is a transition towards a more diversified and more sustainable economy. For all of these reasons, I voted in favour of this report."@en1
