lpv:translated text	"The issue of food security is a cause for concern in every corner of the world. With international food stocks falling and populations and the demand for food growing, volatility in the price of food and feed is creating difficulties in terms of food supply and raw materials. A substantial improvement must be made to the effectiveness of the agricultural sector to comply with the global demand for food. I welcome what is in the report in terms of achieving a balance between investment in research and in the agricultural sector to ensure the security of food supply. The EU greatly depends on the importation of raw materials and therefore more should be invested in research to develop alternative materials and to find more effective uses for existing raw materials, taking recycling into account. On top of that, the EU’s raw materials strategy must encourage the Member States of the Union and developing countries to cooperate to achieve an approach that is practical, fair and effective. The EU must encourage transparency and sustainable development in the developing regions to implement a strong, sustainable policy in terms of trade and the harvesting of resources."@en1
