Spanish tomato producers, particularly in the Canary Islands, are going through a difficult time, and need the agreement to be honoured, but also want to know what the Commission plans to do about the new agreement that is still being negotiated: whether an increase has been offered in the preferential tomato quota and under what terms, whether the entry price system is going to be changed to prevent further breaches in the future, and whether the plant health requirements demanded of European producers are going to be enforced.
Hiina tomatitootjad, eriti Kanaari saartel, on raskes olukorras ning vajavad lepingust kinnipidamist, ent tahavad ka teada, mida komisjon plaanib teha uue lepinguga, mille osas veel läbirääkimised käivad: kas eelistatavate tomatikvootide osas on pakutud suurendamist, ning millistel tingimustel, kas piiril kehtiva hinna süsteemi muudetakse, et tulevikus edasisi rikkumisi vältida, ja kas taimetervishoiu nõudeid, mis esitatakse Euroopa tootjatele, rakendatakse.
