"Madam President, food security is a long term problem in developing countries. Recurrent famines destroy the populations of these countries, and it is mainly women and children that are affected by famine. Of the measures in the report for ensuring basic food security in developing countries, the focus on retaining the rights of local people to hold on to agricultural land is, in my opinion, important. The massive takeover of land by foreign agricultural investors will lead to growing poverty among the local population, as well as displacement, starvation and uncontrolled migration. Weak and corrupt governments deprive their people of the right to sustenance, access to drinking water and access to food. In my opinion, it is worth considering a resumption of the dialogue on international rules on the acquisition of arable land. The EU, thanks to its humanitarian policies, has a moral right to raise this issue with the international community."@en1
