lpv:translated text	"I was delighted by the European Union’s proposals for international financial system reforms to include food security as a matter of priority. However, the Council’s conclusions have failed to emphasise this priority. Therefore I would like to bring to your attention the mounting evidence of a deteriorating financial situation for farmers. In the European Union this affects mainly the new Member States; elsewhere it affects South America and also other parts of the world. There has been an annual drop of up to 50% in farmers’ prices while fertiliser costs have doubled and loans have become more costly, leading to gradually falling harvests. With food stocks at a critically low level there is a real threat of a food crisis with unforeseeable consequences. The prevention of a food crisis must become a priority. We must increase stocks and therefore boost production, which in turn will require proper refinancing. I therefore call on the Council to make sufficient refinancing of harvests and food stocks its number one priority."@en1
