lpv:translated text	"I voted in favour of this resolution, which aims to halve food waste by 2025 and to prevent the generation of bio-waste. It is a global problem which must become a priority on the European political agenda and we need practical measures and strategies in order to achieve this. By way of example, Parliament has invited the European Commission to promote measures aimed at halving food waste upstream, such as the discounted sale of goods close to their expiry date and of damaged goods, etc. Parliament also calls for new awareness-raising campaigns along with food education courses in schools. Lastly, the resolution calls for the Commission to amend the public procurement rules on catering and hospitality services, so that when contracts are awarded, priority is given to ‘undertakings that guarantee that they will redistribute free of charge any unallocated (unsold) items to groups of citizens who lack purchasing power (…)’. The European Food Aid Programme for the Most Deprived comes to the aid of 13 million deprived people and food waste must therefore not only be reduced but must also be used to benefit those 13 million Europeans who are cruelly in need of it."@en1
