Je tiens également à signaler que la production bananière de l’Union européenne est actuellement considérable, que des milliers de familles de l’Union européenne qui habitent dans les régions ultrapériphériques en vivent et que, si la production bananière venait à disparaître, nous abandonnerions certaines des îles européennes à leur sort.
I would like to point out that banana production in the European Union is currently significant, that thousands of European Union families living in the outermost regions live from it and that, if banana production were to disappear, we would be abandoning some of Europe’s islands to their fate, despite the fact that, although they are far away, they are as European as the place from which I am speaking at this moment.
