"Madam President, Commissioner, Minister, I would like to present a statistic, an observation, and three courses of action. The statistic is that, whenever food prices increase by 1%, 16 million people around the world are plunged into dire poverty. The observation is that, it is impossible to prevent volatility, especially on agricultural markets, extreme volatility is not inevitable and it can be combated, however difficult this may be. The three courses of action, which have already been mentioned, are: firstly, to give priority, in development policy, to subsistence farming and regional food markets; secondly, the need for a public regulation policy, including through stock-piling and stock management; thirdly, an outright ban on speculation on basic food products. Europe must be there, at the forefront, especially at the level of the G20. What I have heard from János Martonyi, Commissioner Cioloş and, in other places, from Commissioner Barnier, is to be welcomed. President Sarkozy was very clear and we have great hopes that the French Presidency will be a driving force in this area at the level of the G20."@en1
