lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this important resolution on assisting developing countries in addressing food security challenges. It is clear that food insecurity is challenging the achievement of the Millennium Development Goals, especially in sub-Saharan Africa and the least developed countries. New challenges, including climate change, loss of biodiversity, land degradation and pressures on water, have had an impact on the state of food security in the world. I agree with the rapporteur that the European institutions and the Member States still do not consider the eradication of poverty, hunger and malnutrition to be their key strategic goal, despite strong commitments regarding the enforcement of human rights in relation to food, water, energy, etc. Consequently, in order to achieve the Millennium Development Goals by 2015, it will be crucial to review, and to change if necessary, all EU strategies, such as Europe 2020, Global Europe, energy policy, the sustainable development strategy and the future of EU development cooperation in general. Furthermore, the EU and the Member States must stand up for their commitments to fight poverty and hunger worldwide within international organisations such as the World Bank, the IMF and WTO. I share the rapporteur’s concerns over the EU’s trade strategy, which focuses on competition and market access for EU products and which fails to provide a pro-development approach. A further reduction of tariffs on agricultural imports from developing countries should be encouraged in order to promote economic growth in those countries."@en1
