"Madam President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, I fully share the concerns aroused by rising food prices, and I could hardly do otherwise, as this is an issue that is very closely connected to the lives of European citizens and especially of the less well-off classes. These increases result in an inability to meet the basic food needs of the populations of all countries in the developing world. Faced with this scenario, the developed countries, with the EU Member States among them, cannot remain indifferent.
In the new common agricultural policy, we must therefore provide instruments that are capable of reducing price volatility, limiting speculation on agricultural commodities and ensuring an adequate level of production within the EU. I must therefore stress the fact that we cannot leave land idle at a time when the world population is growing, making it necessary to increase the supply of food."@en1
