"Food security is a basic human right that is achieved when all people have physical, social and economic access to sufficient food. In spite of apparent sufficiency of supplies, a significant proportion of the world’s population cannot afford the basic food it needs; around 900 million people worldwide suffer from hunger due to extreme poverty. Accessibility of food remains a key issue to be dealt with. Food security continues to require a strong common agricultural policy capable of increasing agricultural productivity, stabilising markets and, above all, ensuring a secure supply of affordable food. However, this objective cannot be reached without tackling market and price volatility. As the food issue is very important, I voted in favour of the Sârbu report, which also approves a faster process within the EU for the importation of new genetically modified feed variants, while also looking into the possibility of authorising the use of production methods brought to bear in third countries. My vote is also intended to support the presence of small quantities of genetically modified organisms in products entering the EU."@en1
