"Mr President, I take the opportunity of welcoming the debate and congratulating Mr Siekierski on his report, but I have to say I consider that this report looks backwards and not forwards.
It harks back to the day when Europe had milk lakes and butter mountains. The good thing is, however, that those, thankfully, have all gone. In my opinion, what we are discussing today is a social policy and not an agricultural policy. While I have every sympathy with deprived people, the homeless etc., I have to say there must be a better way of addressing this particular issue.
To buy the food and distribute it will be very expensive so, as I have said, there must be a better way. I think this is where the Commission needs to consider what it should do in the future. I know that some countries currently have many problems with bad weather, snow and everything else, and there will always be people needing help and support. But this is not the way to provide that support."@en1
