"The debate is closed.
The vote will take place during the May 2008 session in Strasbourg.
My country, Poland, which I represent here in the forum of the European Parliament, could be a major producer of agricultural products, and much healthier products than the food currently produced in the West. As a result of errors made by our negotiators when we acceded to the EU, we were obliged by the limits imposed on us to place significant restrictions on Polish agricultural production. This policy of artificially restricting food production is now having drastic consequences for the whole of Europe. The most pain inflicted by the increase in food prices, plus galloping inflation in energy prices, is being felt by pensioners. The poverty zone in Europe is growing alarmingly and embracing increasing numbers of people, particularly families with many children, who are currently finding it difficult to survive from one month to the next.
In the new Member States, including Poland, there are many land areas that have so far never been managed. Through their use, industry could begin producing biofuels, for example, which are having a significant impact on the current rise in food prices. This requires a radical change in how the problem is approached by European Commission officials, however, as well as the taking of immediate steps to utilise the production potential of the new Member States."@en1
