"Mr President, I voted in favour of Mr Czesław Siekierski’s report and our resolution on food distribution to the most deprived persons in the Community.
The report and resolution are of great importance in the context of the financial crisis and economic recession. Growing poverty in the EU – when in some countries poverty affects around 20% of the population – clearly shows that the need for food assistance is quite high. Under the present circumstances, I fully support the European Parliament’s position that the EU food distribution programme, which allocates nearly half a billion euros with the aim of diminishing malnutrition and poverty in the EU, should be fully funded by the Community. I would especially like to stress the importance of the Commission’s proposal to improve the structure for selecting products supplied under the programme. The food should be chosen by Member States’ authorities and distributed in cooperation with civil society partners."@en1
