Synopsis (short abstract) Following its enlargement to include ten Central and Eastern European countries in May 2004, the European Union (EU) has now become the largest banana market in the world. It is forecast to import some 3.8 million tonnes of bananas in 2005, which would account for almost a third of world banana imports. As bananas enter freely into United States territory, and Japanese banana imports originate mainly in Asia, the rapidly approaching change in the EU banana import regime has raised considerable interest and debate amongst ACP and Latin American countries.

    Depuis son élargissement en mai 2004, date de l’adhésion des pays d'Europe centrale et de l'Est, Chypre et Malte, l’Union européenne (UE) constitue aujourd'hui le plus grand marché d'importation de bananes du monde. Selon les estimations, l’UE devrait importer quelque 3,8 millions de tonnes de bananes en 2005, soit presque un tiers des importations mondiales de bananes. Étant donné que les bananes ne font l'objet d'aucune barrière à l'entrée du territoire des États-Unis et que les importations j aponaises de bananes proviennent essentiellement d'Asie, le passage tout proche à un nouveau régime d'importation de bananes dans l’Union européenne a suscité un intérêt considérable ainsi que de nombreux débats au sein des pays ACP et d'Amérique latine.
