"Mr President, I would like to thank the rapporteur for his report, with which we can all concur in the broader sense.
I think this debate gets really interesting when we speak about specific raw materials. I would like to endorse Mrs de Lange’s comments on the use of phosphorus: how it is in decline and is finite in supply, and how we need to look again at how we will produce food – not just within the European Union but globally – given the circumstances of that single raw material which is crucial to food production.
But there are many others. Your report did take on board some of the comments of the Committee on Agriculture, and I thank you for that, but I do think that when it comes to the three-pillar approach it does not mention agriculture and food. It talks specifically about other
and industries, and I think that is a mistake. One of the most crucial areas, in my view, for the world and also for the European Union, is food security. We need raw materials to produce food, and many of those that go into food production, into the land, are scarce and in short supply. We need a strategy to ensure that we can continue to have agriculture within the EU."@en1
