"I voted in favour of Ms Zimmer’s report because I think that the issue of food security in developing countries is of paramount importance to security and peace in the world, especially in view of the growing population. This is why I would like to highlight a few important points. First of all, in order to create conditions conducive to improving food security, it is important to encourage the emergence of regional markets in developing countries by using economic partnership agreements. Secondly, I think that when calculating the amount of development aid to be provided to certain countries, greater consideration needs to be given to food security problems. Lastly, I would like to draw attention to the fact that agriculture accounts for only 4% of Official Development Assistance (ODA), whereas 75% of the world’s poor live in rural areas. This is why, in my view, the issue of agriculture must be at the top of the agenda when devising development programmes. I think that this marks an important step towards improving food security in the world and combating hunger. We must take measures to enable us to achieve the Millennium Development Goals for combating hunger. Let us respond while there is still time."@en1
