". The reform is essential. However, the collateral damage of this reform should not be felt by small, vulnerable ACP economies with whom we have a very special relationship. African, Caribbean and Pacific (ACP) countries rightly feel that they have been abandoned and betrayed by what has been agreed in the Council. What has been proposed by Parliament today is equally unsatisfactory and for this reason I voted against the resolution. Parliament has today voted for a delay in the implementation of the Everything But Arms (EBA) Agreement. Such a move would seriously limit the promise of an initiative designed to provide least developed countries with duty-free and quota-free access to the EU's sugar markets. I call upon the Council to honour its commitment to EBA by implementing no delay or safeguard mechanisms. We now must look to the future and make sure we provide ACP countries with adequate financial support for their restructuring. Compensation amounting to EUR 7.5 billion has been offered to European farmers, whereas so far the ACP has only EUR 40 million. Today, Parliament agreed that the Commission's estimates of ACP needs of EUR 200 million must be met with new and fresh funding. I hope this will be listened to."@en1
