lpv:translated text	"Mr President, during the campaign prior to the election that took place in Spain in the spring of 2004, Mr Zapatero, who is now the Prime Minister of my country, stated that he would airbrush Spain out of that photo of the three warmongers taken in the Azores. He promised to lead the country into the Quintet engaged in combating hunger instead. Mr Zapatero has kept his promise. Under President Lula’s direction, this Quintet has succeeded in placing the fight against hunger and extreme poverty on the international agenda. I myself had the honour of presenting the first document on this issue to the House. There are three reasons for this. Firstly, I believe the European Union must spearhead the international community’s effort to attain that objective. Secondly, the objective is attainable. The technical, financial and economic means to overcome hunger and consign it to oblivion are available. Thirdly, because I believe the fight against hunger and poverty is not simply a question of development aid. This crusade must become one of the axes or one of the pillars of the foreign policy of the European Union and of its Member States, and this is already coming about. Fifteen or twenty years ago, human rights and development aid were key strands of foreign policy. It is now time for the fight against hunger and poverty to become more than a campaign, Commissioner. Instead, it must become a permanent feature of the foreign policy of the Commission, the Council and the European Union as a whole."@en1
