"Mr President, I am nevertheless pleased that we managed to find a compromise solution, which we will be able to approve and which will allow our most deprived citizens to be provided with the same amount of food aid for the remaining two years until the new multiannual financial perspective. It is also very important that 100% of the LTL 500 million comes from the European Union budget, and I definitely agree that only products produced in the European Union should be used and those foods that are produced in the European Union, not imported from somewhere else. Indeed the Council’s desire to reduce the amount of food aid at this difficult time is absolutely incomprehensible, when the number of people requiring aid has really grown as a result of the crisis. I therefore agree that today we have to make savings, both at EU level and in the Member States, but we cannot do this by reducing assistance for the poorest people who have increased in number. We all agree that during the crisis there certainly has not been a drop in the number of poor people and savings in this area would not solve the problem of the financial crisis. Instead we would be turning our backs on our citizens and undermining the goals that we set ourselves a year ago – of pulling up to 20 million people out of the poverty trap."@en1
