Description

While trying to export text fields, I get:

`Traceback (innermost last):

```

```

`UnicodeEncodeError: 'ascii' codec can't encode character u'\xd6' in position 3: ordinal not in range(128)`

This can be solved by inserting a new line 264 in collective.importexport.browser.import_view:

`value = value and value.encode('utf-8')`

Research direction

Start in collective.importexport.browser.import_view at export_file around line 267, following the traceback from handleExport. Reproduce the export with text containing Ö and verify that the resulting CSV handles the character without UnicodeEncodeError. Done means the export succeeds with non-ASCII text.
