lpv:translated text	"I welcome this resolution because food waste is a global problem and this squandering of food generates an industry parallel to the production industry. Strategies for a more efficient food chain need to be established at EU level in order to address this issue. Combating food waste must become a priority on the EU’s policy agenda. Consequently, we need to improve the efficiency of the food supply chain and increase public awareness. I believe that the Commission urgently needs to assess the possibility of applying a policy of enforcement with regard to food waste and to set out specific food waste prevention targets. I welcome the proposal that when establishing public procurement rules on catering and hospitality services, priority should be given to those undertakings which guarantee redistribution of any unallocated items free of charge. Furthermore, we must enable consumers on low incomes to buy high-quality food at cheaper prices."@en1
