"Mr President, Commissioner, there are some saying today that this project has nothing to do with the common agricultural policy. I tell you this is not the case.
What is now very clear is that the objective of the common agricultural policy was to ensure food security, to make sure that products are affordable for all consumers, ensuring farmers’ income. Feeding all the citizens of Europe is therefore part of the fundamental charter of the first integrated European policy.
When we can now transfer money from the CAP balance to fund the International Thermonuclear Experimental Reactor (ITER) to the tune of almost EUR 500 million, how is it that, in some States, some are questioning the EUR 500 million to help the poor?
We have now reached an agreement until 2014. I think that after this, there will need to be a link between the CAP and welfare systems to ensure that the poorest have access to this food. We are committed to this and I hope that in terms of agricultural policy, special efforts will be made so that the poorest can also directly access production."@en1
