". The resolution on rising food prices in the world could have been a valuable contribution to the current debate on the EU’s agricultural policy and its consequences. Yet the result was a disappointment. In the first part it is noted that the trend is towards increased regulation and renewed stockpiling – despite the fact that the high food prices have for the first time in years made agriculture a truly lucrative sector. The second part talks about ‘the right to food’ in the Third World and the importance of prioritising food over fuel production. At the same time, the final result of the voting was scattered on all sides as regards the advantages and disadvantages of biofuels! Politics consists of conflicts over objectives and the main task of a politician is to strike a balance and rank them in order of priority. This resolution did not achieve that. I therefore abstained."@en1
