"In reply to Mr Allister let me say that I do indeed believe that food security must be a prime objective of our review of the common agricultural policy. It is one of the objectives we want to highlight when we review the common agricultural policy. When we undertake that global review we must, therefore, try to look not only at quantitative CAP objectives but also consider more qualitative aspects, so as to ensure that all our fellow citizens, wherever they may live, have access to high-quality food products.
In regard to Mr Rübig’s question, let me point out that today we are indeed benefiting from high world prices, which is an opportunity for European exports. Given global demand as a whole, we may also turn out to be importers in various areas or find out that we are not producing enough. During the multilateral trade negotiations Europe did what it had to do and, as you know, made a number of concessions in regard to reforms, in the framework of the CAP agreements. It turns out, to our regret, that other countries are responsible for the blockages. It is true that the Doha Round on development should pay more attention to the aspects of food security and balanced global food production than it is doing at present."@en1
