"The world food crisis (83% price rise), which is currently reflected in hunger riots in the developing countries, and the fall in the most modest European consumers’ purchasing power are, in my view, connected with the following:
the unprecedented stock market speculation on basic food prices, which is exploiting the tensions and the highly volatile agricultural markets in an unacceptable fashion;
the growth in the cultivation of crops for energy purposes, at the expense of essential food crops;
the weaknesses of European development policy;
the fact that export crops have been supported in the developing countries at the expense of food crops and food self-sufficiency, and
the current world trade rules that generate conditions that are particularly unfair to small and medium farmers, especially in the developing countries.
Over and above emergency measures, when we report on the health of the CAP we must redefine the way we intervene on the world markets (infrastructure, intervention stocks, risk management, prospects and economic modelling of price changes, etc.), reconsider the decoupling of aid and globally rethink our agricultural production models to ensure that they are productive and enduring."@en1
