WRITTEN QUESTION No. 3211/98 by Bernard CASTAGNEDE to the Commission. Compensation for banana producers following hurricane Georges
Official Journal C 297 , 15/10/1999 P. 0057
WRITTEN QUESTION P-3211/98 by Bernard Castagnède (ARE) to the Commission (19 October 1998) Subject: Compensation for banana producers following hurricane Georges What steps does the Commission intend to take to compensate European and traditional ACP banana producers in the Caribbean whose crops have been devastated by hurricane Georges? Answer given by Mr Fischler on behalf of the Commission (13 November 1998) Under Council Regulation (EEC) 404/93 of 13 February on the common organisation of the market in bananas(1), the Commission can adopt specific measures if banana supplies to the Community market are affected by exceptional circumstances. It is first of all necessary to establish whether the circumstances really are exceptional. Those resulting from hurricane Georges¢s passage over Guadeloupe are currently being evaluated, so the Commission is not yet in a position to take a decision in the matter. The Commission would also inform the Honourable Member that it has received a letter from the Dominican Republic informing it that banana production after the hurricane remains sufficient to supply the Community market as planned. (1) OJ L 47, 25.2.1993.
