lpv:translated text	"Almost 50% of edible food is wasted each year, whether it be by households, supermarkets, restaurants or industries. The evidence is there: Seventy-nine million European citizens are living below the poverty line and are often dependent on food aid. This is truly revolting, especially as food wastage in the EU is estimated at 89 million tonnes per year (in other words, 179 kg per capita), which is considerable. If nothing is done, food wastage will increase by almost 40% by 2020. This own-initiative report, to which I gave my support, puts forward good ideas for changing the situation. The objective that we need to achieve is a halving of food wastage by 2025 and thus improve access to food for deprived people. To achieve this massive reduction, new awareness-raising campaigns will have to be introduced, supported by food education classes in schools, and dual-date labelling could be introduced to show the ‘sell by’ date and the actual ‘use by’ date. It is essential to act in order to reduce food wastage in the EU; it is part not only of our economic and social responsibility, but also our environmental duty."@en1
