"Mr President, around a billion of the world’s people are chronically undernourished or are starving. In 2008, food prices rose dramatically, which caused food-related riots in about 30 countries around the world. Today, food prices are approaching those of 2008. The general economic crisis has also contributed to this, which means it is even more necessary to make strenuous endeavours at finding fair ways of distributing food products on a world scale. Unfortunately, it is being forgotten in the European Union that the common agricultural policy is principally a policy intended to secure the supply of high quality food at a suitable price to all European consumers. We must not allow further elimination of instruments which regulate the market and maintain stocks at suitably high levels, and this includes cereal stocks. It is also essential to eliminate speculation in this market – it is reprehensible and immoral that capital groups chasing higher profits are distorting the rules of the free market and condemning millions of people across the world to suffer hunger."@en1
