"Around a billion people in the world are starving. At the same time, food is being wasted around the world: in the field during agricultural production, during processing, during retailing and, finally, by end consumers themselves. In this connection, laudable initiatives have already been started in some countries, whereby food which would otherwise be discarded by shops is distributed to social centres. While, in high-tech countries, there is wastage at the processing and consumption stages, developing countries need to work on efficient transport and improved storage facilities for agricultural produce. In our part of the world, we like to legislate to reduce wastage in the production chain, but we do not like to legislate against the throw-away mentality of our modern society. I do not think this draft has been properly thought out and therefore I abstained from voting."@en1
