Amendment 20 #
Proposal for a regulation
Recital 17 a (new)
(17a) For the purposes of implementing the Stabilisation Mechanism for Bananas, it is essential to make continuing provision to enable action to be taken should disruption occur on the market after January 2020, given that safeguard measures are manifestly insufficient to guarantee the income of banana producers – especially those in the outermost regions – when the market is seriously disrupted. In addition, as regards the bilateral safeguard clause, the entire process should be speeded up, given that it will continue to be extremely complex and time consuming, posing a real risk that safeguard measures will prove ineffective where European producers are concerned, because they will be enforced too late and producers will have already suffered serious injury.
