"In recent days I have received messages of distress from many banks which are on the brink of bankruptcy. Yet these banks do not speculate, they do not make money and they do not invest in wars. These banks, food banks, help 13 million people simply to be able to eat.
It would be absurd – and indeed it already is – if the EU were able to mobilise rapidly to save banks and financiers, and yet we could not guarantee the continuation of a basic survival programme. It is outrageous and unacceptable and we, as parliamentarians, cannot allow it to happen. I hope that during this Polish Presidency which has just begun, a new regulation is introduced to establish a new, more stable food distribution programme which is not exclusively subject to available agricultural surpluses and which can continue to provide support, from the EU, to those people who need it most."@en1
