AVS-landene, de traditionelle bananleverandører, er med rette bekymrede over disse udviklingstendenser, særlig den tendens, der vil give producenter fra tredjelande, og navnlig de producenter, der producerer til meget lave priser, for nem adgang til markedet, hvorved den risikerer at blive en naturlig trussel for deres position på markedet.
The ACP countries, as traditional suppliers of bananas, are legitimately concerned by these developments and, in particular, by a development which, because it would result in the market being opened up too widely to supplies from third countries, especially those producing at very low cost, threatens naturally to compromise their position in the market.
