"The Caronna report addresses an important issue, that of the efficiency of the food chain in EU Member States. Food wastage statistics show that, in some cases, almost 50% of healthy edible food is lost along the food supply chain. This has repercussions not only for the sustainability of the food chain and for food production itself, but also for product prices and the eco-sustainability of food waste. The report therefore calls on the Commission, the Council and the governments of Member States to promote measures and policies that first of all foster greater awareness of the problem on the part of citizens. It also calls on the Commission and the Council to declare 2012 the ‘European Year against Food Waste’, precisely in order to raise awareness among institutions and consumers about the various kinds of damage caused by losing massive amounts of food along the food supply chain and, conversely, on the desirability of a change of course in this area. It is also desirable, as the report points out, for the Commission to foster the exchange of good practices among Member States. I voted in favour of the report."@en1
