"I voted for the Sârbu report on recognition of agriculture as a strategically important sector in the context of food security. Historically, food security has, for centuries, been among the highest priorities of all governments. Financial and economic criteria cannot, therefore, be deciding factors.
The production of cheap but good food is very important from the point of view of the market and people’s purchasing power, particularly for those on low incomes. Even more important, however, is the ability to produce food. We cannot allow a situation in which we import food only because someone can sell it to us more cheaply at the time. We can import, but we must maintain our ability to produce the amount of food we need."@en1
