"Mr President, I voted in favour of the Papastamkos report. I would like to express my admiration for this report, and I am glad that the European Parliament has declared itself firmly in favour of defending Europe’s food security, which is under threat as a result of excessive concessions in international trade negotiations on food.
There is a strong lobby group in the European Union working to reduce food production in Europe and increase food imports from third countries, since they make profits on these exports. This was apparent during the reform of the sugar market, for example. The European Union should not give in to this lobby group, but oppose it out of concern for its own food security. A policy of giving in to this lobby group at a time of increased food demand is a suicidal policy in the long term."@en1
