Bananas: common organisation of the market COM

The Committee considers that the Commission has made a considerable effort to accommodate all interests in the Community banana regime, but thinks this should not jeopardize the system's effectiveness in achieving its fundamental objectives. It welcomes certain provisions, but considers that the Commission should encourage the adoption of appropriate provisions to take account of the special case of production in Somalia and review the increase of 353,000 tonnes in the tariff quota intended to take account of consumption in the three new Member States. It also regards the reduction in the tariff quota allocated to Category B operators as unjustified.�
