(14a) The importance of adhering to the international labour standards drawn up and supervised by the International Labour Organization needs to be stressed. Defending decent work for all should be an absolute priority and bananas imported from Central America should be produced under decent social and environmental conditions and for a fair wage to ensure Union producers are not the victims of dumping, something they would not be in a position to compensate for and which would permanently damage their competitiveness in the global banana market.
