lpv:translated text	"Mr President, Mr Cioloş, Mr Sawicki, ladies and gentlemen, along with several Member States, you, Mr Cioloş, and you, Mr Sawicki, have spoken out in favour of continuing food aid for needy people. As we have heard, a political decision is required to ensure that this takes place. However, the responsibility for this important area lies primarily with the Member States. It is not acceptable that people in Europe do not have enough to eat. It is part of the social responsibility of the Member States to ensure that they do. In Germany there are laws which guarantee sufficient food for all the citizens of the country. The ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union has changed the framework of the current aid programme. Strict limits have been set on market purchases. The Court has determined that the current programme in its current form does not comply with the legal basis of the Treaties. I know that we need to find answers in order to guarantee that the millions of needy people in the EU are given help. However, I would like to stress once again that the socio-political responsibility lies with the Member States. Perhaps we should also consider whether it would be better to establish programmes in the Member States rather than one European programme. These would be cofinanced with social funding from Brussels, in order to guarantee the provision of food aid in all Member States. This would also safeguard European solidarity, which I am firmly committed to, and enable the programmes to be continued. The Group of the European People’s Party (Christian Democrats) will certainly help to find solutions for the people who are affected. I was once travelling in Brazil with a group of people when some young Brazilians asked us if they could have the food that we had left on our plates. I was shocked that something like this could happen in a rich agricultural country. We must make sure that people in Europe have enough to eat."@en1
