"Madam President, let me make it absolutely clear that I speak on behalf of those in the developing world and not in defence of the common agricultural policy.
According to the World Bank, over 44 million people have been plunged into dire poverty as a result of rising food prices. There are a myriad of contributory factors – fewer smallholdings, deforestation, desertification, lack of access to water and climate change.
Hence, we need a holistic approach to ensure that we encourage people to take care of their own development needs and to ensure food security at local level. We need to reform the common agricultural policy and the common fisheries policy so that there are no direct or indirect negative impacts on the developing and developed countries.
We must promote local land ownership and, finally, we must strip away the obscenity of land grab, whereby land is bought and used by foreign investment companies and foreign companies for their own needs. There is no defence for this obscenity."@en1
