Nogle ønsker for at få en afbalanceret udvikling at beskytte producenterne, land mændene, dem, der lever af jorden og deres arbejde.
Certainly Latin American producers have not been negatively affected, as has already been said.
Andre ønsker på vegne af liberalismen og det store, integrerede verdensmarked at fremme den internationale handel og spekulation.
In view of all this, why do we have to succumb to the interests of one of the powerful banana multinationals?
Nogle dage efter denne konklusion kom der en ny dom, der var lige så ugunstig for Fællesskabets og forbrugernes interesser.
The banana multinationals have a dark history of interference in Latin American politics.
I en interimsrapport fordømmer WTO de 15's embargo mod import fra USA af kød, der er behandlet med væksthormoner. Bananer, hprmonkød osv. - der kommer flere og flere domme, der alle ligner hinanden og bunder i den samme logik, nemlig den fri handel, der er ligeglad med alle overvejelser af social, kulturel, sund hedsmæssig eller miljømæssig art.
Can they have such a decisive influence on Europe too?
WTO er ved at udvikle sig til at blive et instrument, der alene tjener USA's interesser og fungerer som spydspids for de multinationale virksomheder, som kun tænker på egen vinding.
If the allegations in the American press are to be believed, then one multimillionaire can call in the chips to get the Clinton administration to put the boot into small countries in the name of free trade.
Jeg må sige, at jeg har vanskeligt ved at forstå Rådets og Kommissionens tøven i en sag med så alvorlige følger. Derfor kræver jeg, at Den Europæiske Union uden ophør appellerer WTO-panelets afgørelse og styrker Fællesskabets forordning vedrørende bananer for at beskytte interesserne for producenterne i Fællesskabet og AVS-landene i overensstemmelse med de forpligtelser, der er indgået under Lomé-konventionen.
Rosado Fernandes (UPE). - (PT) Mr President, Com missioner, strange though it may seem - and knowing my mythology - I never thought that, in the European Parliament the apple of discord would be replaced by a banana of discord.
Mere generelt vil jeg på vegne af min gruppe give udtryk for, at det er absolut nødven digt, at der i alle beslutninger tages hensyn til sociale, kulturelle, sundhedsmæssige og miljømæssige spørgsmål.
In fact, this is an historic replacement and it will go down in the annals òf the European Parliament, especially now that the trade Leviathan which exists worldwide succeeds in overcoming treaties, abolish ing conventions, fighting against people unable to produce
Afgørelsen kan efter vores mening, hr. kommissær, ikke engang accepteres som hypotese, og Kommissionen må appellere disse uretfærdige og uberettigede konklusioner fra WTO's tvistbilæggelsesorgan.
Kinnock, Glenys (PSE). - Mr President of course what we recognize in this debate is that the long-running banana drama actually crystalizes the elements of the debates in Europe about the whole issue of preferential access.
Jeg mener, at kommissærens synspunkt om, at Det Euro pæiske Fællesskab skal appellere Verdenshandelsorganisationens afgørelse, er korrekt, og vi håber naturligvis, at Rådet følger de retningslinjer, som Kommissionen og størstedelen af de politiske grupper på nuværende tids punkt anviser.
Mr President, Commissioner, if the European Union is forced to accept the findings of the WTO Banana Panel report that would call into question the defence of the principle of Community preference and this would mean speeding up liberalization of the banana COM, calling into question also the already precarious economic and social stability of bananaproducing countries, as well as the ecological and environmental balance as a consequence of abandonment of these crops.
Vi kan ikke forstå holdningen i visse medlemsstater, som skulle have afvist et sådant tiltag fra Kommissionen, som grundlæggende tager sigte på at genindføre retfærdighed og bevare den behørige solidaritet mellem Den Europæiske Unions medlemsstater og regioner.
The special trade allowances which we give, as wealthy countries, to poorer countries as a ladder out of poverty are now being challenged by those who prescribe blanket liberalization as the only option.
Aldo (UPE). - (FR) Hr. formand, kære kolleger, banan markedet er i dyb krise, og det var det allerede før resultaterne fra det pågældende panel.
And as others have said, in the European Union we have our very special and unique relationship with the ACP countries.
Derudover skal man tænke på de enorme skader, der er blevet påpeget både for de små AVS-lande, som ikke har andre muligheder for at overleve end bananproduktion, og for visse regioner i Fællesskabet, hvor ophævelsen af den fælles markedsordning for bananer ville få kolossale konsekvenser.
Commissioner, I should like here and now to remind you of the final part of your letter, in reply to mine, dated 20 May 1997, which said that you were aware of the importance of banana growing on the island of Madeira from an economic, social and ecological point of view.
Overfloden af bananer i Fællesskabet, som kommer fra dollarzonen, har forårsaget et sammenbrud i kurserne, og det betaler bananproducenterne i Unionen og AVS-landene for på grand af pres fra to faktorer: højere produktionsomkostninger og lavere salg.
That being so, I call on you and the Commission to present a clear strategy on the banana market, bearing in mind the legitimate interests of Community and ACP banana country producers.
Kort og godt forsøger vi, hr. kommissær og hr. rådsformand, at skabe en international økonomisk orden og ikke en international økonomisk uorden.
Patijn, President-in-Office of the Council. - (NL) Mr President as President-in-Office of the Council I have listened very carefully to what the honourable Members have said.
Hvis man ikke er opmærksom på de sociale klausuler i handelsaftalerne, og hvis vi lader den frie markedsøkonomi - udelukkende baseret på principper som fortjeneste, økonomisk udbytte og profit - vinde udbredelse, vil vi ende med at få alvorlige problemer både inden for Fællesskabet og i den verdensøkonomiske orden.
They have made clear their concern about the possible implications of the ruling, and they have spoken of their great concern for banana producers in the Euro pean Union and also in particular for producers in the ACP countries. We share their concern.
Derfor håber jeg, at kommissærens holdninger vil blive styrket under denne parlamentsdebat. mentsdebat.
We shall take account of the interests of these producers in our search for a solution, and we shall have to examine in detail how best we can protect them in the short and longer term.
Jeg har selv over for Kommissionen præciseret, at den foreslåede stigning i mængderne fra tredjelande i lyset af statistikken fra det sidste halvår af 1995 ikke stod i forhold til forbrugsbehovet i Den Europæiske Union; alligevel bad man os om at formalisere en situation, hvis formål var at få solgt et bananoverskud på 265.000 tons mere end det, Den Europæiske Union kan aftage.
These people are not holding out a begging bowl - they are only asking for recognition that they have small landowning democracies in countries which have human rights and which protect workers' rights. These standards of course are not to be found in the feudal conditions which exist in Latin American plantations.
Vi har også givet udtryk for vor bekymring over den nye tildeling af licenser, som Kommissionen foreslog for kort tid siden.
Was it because Carl Linden who heads Chiquita brands began channelling $500 000 into the Democratic campaign during the presidential elections?
Vi mener, at denne fordeling, hvis den bliver gennemført, skaber uligevægt i handlen med bananer, fører til tab i eksportindtægterne og sammenbrud i nogle landes økonomi, med hidtil usete sociale og politiske følger i de europæiske regioner og AVS-lande, der frem stiller bananer.
Linden took coffee with President Clinton and actually slept in Lincoln's bedroom. The payoff for those favours, it seems, was a WTO ruling which effectively threatens the entire social fabric of a region.
Selv om EF-Domstolen har, også for nylig, har anerkendt den juridiske gyldighed af fællesskabsordningen for bananer, har WTO's tvistbilæggelsesorgan i en for os uacceptabel udtalelse i slutningen af april erklæret denne ordning for værende i strid med de internationale samhandelsregler.
Finally, in his speech last Friday in Barbados, the President of St Lucia said: 'bananas are to the Caribbean what cars are to Detroit'. I hope the European Union will help Bill Clinton to understand that fact.
Medens man i Den Europæiske Union kæmper for og investerer i at skabe økonomisk og social samhørighed, kan denne erklæring fra WTO - hvis den opretholdes -uigenkaldeligt ødelægge denne landbrugsproduktion, som er af største betydning for økonomien i visse EU-regioner, navnlig for de perifere øområder, der i forvejen på grund af deres beliggenhed er særdeles ugunstigt stillet.
Correia (PSE). - (PT) Mr President Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, the findings of the preliminary report of the Banana Panel of the World Trade Organisation are contrary to the interests of the European Community and in particular to those of Portugal and the autonomous region of Madeira, which is a part of my country, and even more to the traditional banana exporters of the ACP countries.
Mine damer og herrer, i dag skal de ord, vi bruger i denne sag, være klare, og vi skal vise, at vi satser på at opfylde de mål, vi har fastsat os for den europæiske konstruktion, men også på at indtage vor rette plads på den internationale arena.
We all know what the findings of the WTO Banana Panel report are but they coincide with positions taken by the United States and certainly seem to defend the interests of the Chiquita multinational which markets LatinAmerican bananas throughout the world.
Vi må ikke glemme, at Lomékonventionens målsætninger, navnlig den udtrykkelige forpligtelse i protokol nr. 5 (bananprotokollen) tager sigte på at sikre AVS-producenteme adgang til det indre marked og at forbedre betingelserne for produktion og markedsføring af bananer i AVS-landene.
Fischler, Member of the Commission. - (DE) Mr President, Mr President-in-Office, ladies and gentlemen, as Mr Medina Ortega said earlier, today's debate has very clearly demonstrated the strength of feeling in the House concern ing the banana issue. I should like to thank the many Members who have spoken out in favour of lodging an appeal.
Der findes ikke 117 sandheder, der findes kun én: resultateme fra dette panel er til skade for et grundlæggende princip, nemlig den europæiske suverænitet.
However, we must also realize that we shall need to consider in detail and carefully prepare the grounds on which we base an appeal, because as you are well aware, an appeal will throw the case open once again.
Det er uacceptabelt, både i form og indhold.
It would hardly be in your interest, I am sure, if the outcome of the
Den næste WTO-dom mod importforbuddet for hormonkød fra USA blev bekendtgjort i slutningen af sidste uge.
Another factor also has to be borne in mind: there have as yet been relatively few rulings under the new procedure.
Her, ligesom ved markedsordningen for bananer, har USA optrådt som hovedsagsøger, selvom US-produktionen af bananer kun udgør 8.000 tons.
The fact is that with the establishment of the WTO, the procedure was reorganized, and it could now be said that each case represents a precedent.
US-koncernlobbyen har indgående forberedt WTO-sagen og ledsaget panelforhandlingerne i Genève.
This meeting - for which there had been pressure from many quarters, including the European Union - did not bring the breakthrough which had been hoped for.
WTO er nødt til at ændre sine regler, for at også de svage, udviklingslandene og omverdenen vinder gehør hos den. Eu chego ao fim.
No cease-fire was agreed between the parties, and nor was there any agreement on the transition process.
Vecchi (PSE). - (LT) Hr. formand, resultatet af Verdens handelsorganisationens panel om bananerne er uacceptabelt og rent ud sagt næppe heller upartisk.
Therefore, I would also ask that we should keep quite clearly to our agreed procedures, taking one step at a time, and also debating one step at a time.
Ikke blot er Den Europæiske Unions interesser blevet tilsidesat, men først og fremmest - hvad der er mere væsentligt - har man ikke på nogen måde hørt, hvad producenterne, særlig de små producenter, der er repræsenteret af AVS-landene, havde at sige.
I would almost go so far as to say that it is counterproductive to engage in a debate now on how we should react to one final ruling or another.
Sierra González (GUE/NGL). - (ES) Hr. formand, den situation, der opstået på grand af WTO's voldgiftskendelse mod den fælles markedsordning for bananer, kræver, at man indgiver en appel, hvilket kommissær Fischler også har erkendt.
The very last thing that it would be in our common interest to do would be to seek to influence the WTO's final ruling in any way.
Situationen kræver også, at der er enighed mellem de tre fællesskabsinstitutioner.
Indeed, this is also a reason why we should refrain from stating our positions in public in the final stage of the proceedings.
Der er rigeligt med grande hertil.
The most recent reports indicate that Mr Kabila's ADFL is closing in on Kinshasa.
Den første grand er den forpligtelse, Kommissionen har til at forsvare princippet om fællesskabspræference samt alle de regler, som garanterer denne præference.
This has also led to an upturn in the fighting in the past few days, and the increased resistance from the Zairean army over this period has resulted in a very large number of casualties.
Den anden grund er forpligtelsen til at sikre retfærdige markedsvilkår for fællesskabsproducenterne, som betaler høje produktions- og transportomkostninger, og for hvem det ville være et alvorligt økonomisk tab at miste det europæiske marked.
If the ADFL were to proceed with an attack on the capital, this could lead to further serious bloodshed, with heavy casualties among the civilian population.
Den tredje grand er forpligtelsen til at opretholde aftalerne med AVS-landene, men også - og navnlig - konstateringen af, at Verdenshandelsorganisationen efterhånden er blevet et instrument til regulering af de markeder, der tjener USA's interesser, hvilket man kan konstatere, hvis man analyse rer de seneste afgørelser fra denne organisation, som helt og holdent er i overensstemmelse med de stærke interesser inden for agrolevnedsmiddelindustrien i dette land.
In the meantime, on 10 May the transitional parliament in Kinshasa - which I would point out has not been democratically elected -chose as its president the Archbishop of Kisangani, Mon signor Monsengwo. As president of the transitional parliament, Mr Monsengwo is also a possible successor to President Mobutu, in the event of his death or resignation.
Dette ses ikke kun af bananpanelets afgørelse, men også af en anden afgørelse fra panelet, som tvinger Den Europæiske Union til at acceptere hormonbehandlet kød. Man bør ikke kæde disse to ting sammen, og jeg er enig med det medlem, som har sagt dette.
In fact both the political opposition led by the former prime minister Mr Tshisekedi and the ADFL have reacted negatively, to his appointment.
Til sidst vil jeg geme sige, at konkurrencepolitik er ikke et mål i sig selv, man skal heller ikke kun tænke i handelsbaner. Man skal også tage overvejelser af social, økonomisk og frem for alt sundhedsmæssig og miljømæssig art med i betragtning.
Nonetheless, one thing is clear: banana producers in the European Union have the same rights as any other farmers in the European Union - they are entitled to look to the objectives set out in Article 39 of the Treaty with regard to Community preference and general solidarity with our agricultural producers.
Kreissl-Dörfler (V). - (DE) Hr. formand, Gruppen De Grønne i Europa-Parlamentet har aldrig anset markedsordningen for bananer som den bedste af alle mulige løsninger, men denne markedsordning for bananer gav jo chancen for at fremme husmandsbruget.
The Council emphatically supports the recent mediation efforts by the President of South Africa, Mr Mandela, and his Vice-President The report that President Mobutu and the ADFL leader Mr Kabila are to meet again today on the South African warship is therefore to be welcomed.
I AVS-staterne og i EU er det først og fremmest de små og mellemstore brug, der dyrker bananer, og ikke kæmpestore plantager, som f.eks. i Honduras og Guatemala.
The Council hopes that these talks will involve genuine negotiations which will prevent further acts of violence and represent a first move towards a peaceful transition process in Zaire.
For nogle år siden sagde man »trade not aid«, men her udelukkes også trade for dem, som ikke befinder sig inden for kredsen af de store internationale virksomheder.
Bearing all this in,mind, the Commission will, as I said earlier, set about analysing the WTO ruling in detail and then decide on the right way in which to proceed.
Vi har ved flere lejligheder lagt os i selen for en fair-trade-kvote inden for bananhandelen.
President. - The next item is the statements by the Council and the Commission on the situation in Zaire.
I EF-markedsordningen for bananer bør der reserveres en vis kvote til fragter fra social-økologisk dyrkning.
The Council has already given detailed attention to the situation in Zaire on several occasions, and has made its position clear.
EP har i sin beslutning fra november 1996 om handel og miljø overtaget dette krav.
In February 1996, the Council appointed a special representative for the Great Lakes region, Mr Aldo Ajello, to assist the presidency in its efforts to mediate in the conflicts in the region.
Denne panel-afgørelse er kun optakten til en række WTO-domme, der truer miljø- og forbrugerbeskyttelsen i EU.
The refugees and displaced persons in eastern Zaire are in an agonizing situation, and repatriation is still not taking place without difficulties.
Wynn (PSE). - (EN) Hr. formand, jeg vil geme begynde med at sige, at man virkelig må glæde sig over udtalelsen fra hr. Fischler - med det tillæg, der kommer fra hr. Hindley. Jeg foreslår, at det budskab, kommissæren har sendt, straks bliver sendt videre til de traditionelle producenter, simpelt hen for at give dem nogen opmuntring og noget håb for fremtiden.
The Council remains concerned at the humanitarian situation in eastern Zaire - and also that of the refugees and displaced persons elsewhere in the country - and calls on the parties involved to cooperate fully with the UNHCR and other humanitarian organizations, without restrictions or conditions being imposed.
Ingen produktionssektor kan udvikle sig i et sådant klima.
the refugees are hiding out in groups in woodland.
Jeg spørger mig selv: Hvilke magtfulde fjender har de europæiske bananproducenter, der er i stand til at bevæge den offentlige mening til at udøve en så vedvarende pression?
This means that the organization is being hampered in carrying out the repatriation of the Rwandan refugees to their native country.
Under vort besøg på Windwardøerne i sidste uge følte fra Kinnock, hr. Thomas og jeg selv det enorme ansvar, som disse øers beboere pålagde os.
The loading of refugees onto trains and goods wagons did not take place under the control or protection of the UNHCR and, as we know, these trans ports have had disastrous consequences.
De er desperate efter at få hjælp til at bekæmpe kendelsen fra WTO, noget der havde hele den amerikanske regerings magt bag sig.
Recent reports suggest that the UNHCR has been able to extend some what the area in which it is active, but thousands of refugees are being found in a seriously weakened condition there.
Forordning nr. 404/93 har indtil nu været et effektivt instrument til opnåelse af den europæiske markedsordning for bananer. De europæiske producenter er tilfredse, forsyningen af markederne er sikret, priserne har holdt sig inden for markedets naturlige muligheder, og den euro pæiske forbruger har ikke bemærket nogen generende omstændigheder, siden forordningen trådte i kraft.
Finally, Mr President, I would assure you that the Council is continuing to monitor developments very closely, and will do everything in its power to influence the situation positively, however difficult that has appeared so far.
Det er ikke rigtigt, som det er blevet sagt, at forholdene har negative konsekvenser for de latinamerikanske producenter.
The Council is urging him - and will continue to do so - to stand by this promise and provide the humanitarian organizations with all the help they need in carrying out their tasks.
Hvis alt dette er rigtigt, hvorfor skal vi så bukke under for et af de magtfulde multinationale bananselskabers interesser?
The Council also rejects any time-limit as regards the repatriation of refugees.
De multinationale bananselskaber har en sort historie, hvad angår utidig indblanding i Latinamerikas politik.
Bonino, Member of the Commission. - (FR) Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, at the moment the progress of the negotiations and military action which will decide where power lies in Zaire in the future is partially obscuring the human drama which continues to be played out virtually all over the country.
Kan de også få så afgørende indflydelse i Europa?
I am thinking specifically and without exception of all those people in distress, whether displaced persons, or refugees from Rwanda or Burundi.
Hvad vil Kommissionen gøre for at opretholde levestandarden i nogle europæiske produktionsområder, hvor bananen er den vigtigste - og somme tider eneste - indtægtskilde.
I deliberately use the term 'partially obscuring' because the scale of the tragedy and the rare but atrociously inhuman pictures will have disturbed even those most preoccupied with the strategic, economic and geopolitical stakes implied by this change of power.
Hvis Kommissionen accepterer, at man ændrer det nuværende system og gør det umuligt at opretholde Fællesskabets produktion, ville jeg ikke kunne forklare dette for indbyggerne på den ø, hvor jeg kommer fra, som i to århundreder udelukkende har levet af bananproduktion.
It is now clear that Zaire is moving towards a new stage in its history. I have no regrets about the stage which is coming to an end, but the power incarnate in this change causes me grave anxiety because up to now it has flouted every international humanitarian convention, as well as many human rights conventions.
Hvis man skal tro påstandene i den amerikanske presse, så kan én mangemillionær score kassen ved at få Clinton administrationen til at sparke til små lande under på beråbelse af frihandel.
The Council is very concerned at the refusal of Mr Kabila to allow the United Nations Commission on Human Rights to investigate allegations of human rights viola tions in the territory captured by the ADFL.
Bananer var den eneste afgrøde, som garanterede en regelmæssig ugentlig indkomst.
Recent reports on continuing human rights violations in the area controlled by the ADFL highlight the need for a rapid on-the-spot investigation.
Hvis man fjernede den, så ville resultatet blive fattigdom.
As regards the humanitarian situation, I have very little news to give you, unfortunately, as we cannot get access to the regions involved.
Men frem for alt sagde de: Vi ser hen til Den Europæiske Union, at den skal konfrontere USA om spørgsmål vedrørende den tredje verden.
You will have seen the television pictures when the crews accompany the humanitarian workers where they are allowed to go.
Det er af afgørende betydning med en appel, men det kan kun være det første skridt. Landene i det øsuige caraibiske område accepterer globalisering og liberalisering af han delen, de modemiserer og diversificerer, men de behøver hjælp og de behøver tid!
For security reasons we are making every effort to get there with witnesses, hence also with certain media.
WTO-kendelsen giver ingen af delene, og det er derfor, vi må modsætte os den, og vi må helt klart appellere.
We have even been expelled from regions we had received authorization to go to.
