Caribbean Banana Growers

EDM number 115 in 1999-00, proposed by Jenny Tonge on 30/11/1999.

That this House recognises the crucial importance of the banana industry to small Caribbean states; is alarmed that the European Commission's current proposals for the new banana regime, in response to the recent WTO ruling, pose a serious threat to the livelihoods of Caribbean banana growers and the economies of these states; urges the EU to meet its commitment to the Caribbean banana growers, under the Lome Convention, to provide assured and duty-free access to the EU market; and calls on the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food and the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs to ensure that effective measures are adopted to secure this.

This motion has been signed by a total of 112 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
