"Mr President, the question of food wastage is a growing European problem that is reflected right along the food supply chain.
In this context, I would like to welcome the Commission proposal on food wastage reduction by 2020. I hope that the report we have voted on today, which I supported, will contribute to this objective.
I agree with Commissioner Potočnik that in the recent situation, where many countries of the world have been suffering from food shortages, the food waste produced in Europe is morally, economically and environmentally irresponsible.
Above all, I think that people should be better informed, not only on the causes and effects of waste, but also on ways of reducing it. I support Parliament’s request to declare 2013 the European Year against Food Waste, which would serve as a key information and awareness-raising tool on this important issue."@en1
