lpv:translated text	"According to a study by the UN Food and Agriculture Organisation, each European wastes an average of 105 kg of food every year. This report, drafted by Mr Caronna, concerns this issue, particularly, the strategies which the EU should adopt in order to improve the efficiency of the food supply chain and thus avoid food wastage. In addition to this problem being ethically untenable, since there are 70 million people living below the poverty line in Europe, it is also unsustainable in economic and environmental terms. Food overproduction has an enormous environmental cost, from energy wastage, water consumption and the depletion of natural resources, to greenhouse gas emissions. As such, it should be given priority in the European institutions by always safeguarding food security. I welcome the adoption of this report, for which I voted. I welcome and support the designation of 2014 as the European Year against Food Waste as a way of raising public awareness, and I hope that the proposed measures will be properly implemented so that the objective of halving food wastage by 2025 can be achieved."@en1
