"At the start of this year, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) warned of a possible increase in food prices in 2011, after they reached new historic highs in 2010, following the increase during the food crisis of 2008. This price increase, which is affecting the whole world, has hit developing countries particularly hard. According to the FAO, the estimated number of people suffering hunger was 925 million in 2010, and there are signs that this figure could be increasing. As this is an extremely serious situation, I believe Parliament should call for measures that could alleviate it. However, this is not an appropriate time for entering into a debate on the future of the common agricultural policy and, even less, on a financial transaction tax (FTT). As I have already said on other occasions, I do not agree with this way of making policy that involves systematically approving a proposal in reports that have nothing to do with the essence of that same proposal, as is the case with the FTT."@en1
