"− Far too little fruit and vegetables are eaten in the EU in relation to the WHO’s recommendations of a minimum 400 grams per day. There is an obesity epidemic among children. This is particularly severe in Malta. A high intake of fruit and vegetables reduces the risk of a large number of diseases and prevents overweight. In 2007, organisation of the market in fruit and vegetables underwent a fundamental reform towards greater market orientation. Fruit and vegetables are now fully integrated into the single payment system. Excessive weight entails a greater risk of cardiovascular disease, diabetes, high blood pressure and certain forms of cancer. A daily intake of 600 grams for people 11+ should be our target. The Commission proposes an allocation of EUR 90 million in the Community budget. That corresponds to one piece of fruit one day a week for 30 weeks a year and covers children aged 6-10 years. To achieve all the positive effects of introducing a school fruit scheme, there must be increased funding. A school fruit scheme should consist of a portion of fruit per pupil per day and not only be aimed at school children aged 6-10."@en1
