Hr. formand, mine damer og herrer, indledningsvis vil jeg gerne takke Dem, hr. Dary, for Deres nu anden betænkning og også for den grundige redegørelse for Kommissionens forslag om at ændre den fælles markedsordning for bananer.
Mr President, ladies and gentlemen, let me begin by thanking Mr Dary for this, his second report, and for his committee's thorough examination of the Commission's proposal for the amendment of the common organisation of the market in bananas.
