Producenterne på Madeira, som efter tiltrædelsen af Unionen var glade for den fælles markedsordning for bananer, er i dag bekymrede over udsigten til en forøgelse af toldkontingentet, som klart nok vil skabe et alt for stort udbud på fælllesskabsmarkedet med negative virkninger for deres interesser, og de har anmodet om forhøjelse af udligningsstøtten for at forbedre deres knappe indkomst.
Madeiran producers, since Portugal joined the Union, applauded the COM but are now concerned that important into the Community might be increased, which would obviously overload the market with negative effects on their interests. They have asked for compensatory amounts to be increased and to be complemented so as to improve their meagre incomes.
