lpv:spoken text	"Mr President, like the last speaker, I think we are in a difficult position on this particular issue. While I recognise this has helped over 18 million people and has done a tremendous job throughout the whole of the European Union in many areas where it is implemented, we are now in a position where the funding is seriously being questioned. We have to deal with this, and the Minister made it clear that stocks in 2013 are going to be more limited than they will have been in 2012. That is a reality. We all know that the security of food supply is not there as it has been in the past, and this is a tremendous challenge for us all. But like the previous speaker, let me say I have to question whether this should come out of an agricultural budget or the social budget. I think we have to get it right. We cannot just simply fudge something because we disagree with it in many ways, so which fund would pay? I think this is the bottom line and question. I would ask Commissioner Cioloş whether this fund is effective and efficient. We all know about the waste of food and we have talked about the food that is being wasted throughout Europe. Is this the best way to deal with poverty? I think we have to get underneath this if we want to find a solution. I recognise there is a great risk of poverty throughout the whole of the European Union, and I recognise that and I want from the bottom of my heart to help, but we have to question it. I sincerely hope and trust that a solution to this problem can be found. I want the Agriculture Council to find that solution, because I do not believe we can simply turn a blind eye. However, I do not necessarily believe we are addressing the problem in the right way."@en1
