lpv:translated text	". In the White Paper on Nutrition, Overweight and Obesity, which has also been adopted by the European Parliament this year, experts emphasised the fact that there are today in Europe 22 million overweight children and 5 million obese children. These experts are of the opinion that another 1.3 million new cases will develop next year. In the World Health Organization’s World Health Report, insufficient consumption of fruit and vegetables is listed as one of the seven health risks. In connection with this topic, Parliament once proposed to the European Commission that the necessary financial resources should be included in the EU budget for that purpose. Today the European Commission has prepared a back-up measure that supports our former initiative. This measure would make it possible, in a similar way to the school milk scheme, to offer fruit and vegetables to 6- to 10-year-old children in schools in the EU from the 2009/2010 school year. This is definitely an investment in the future that will help prevent or reduce healthcare expenditure arising from unhealthy eating habits. I hope that the European Commission will once again be willing to consider the proposals that have been made, and increase the existing fruit and vegetable scheme funding from EUR 90 million to EUR 500 million, which would make it possible to offer this measure to children on all school days, and also to a broader target group of children. Thank you for your attention!"@en1
