"I voted for the draft recommendation for second reading on the Council’s position at first reading with a view to the adoption of a regulation to continue the distribution of food products to the most deprived persons in the Union. Given the urgency of the situation generated by the Council blocking the proposal for two years, we believe that any delay in adopting this regulation would only result in prolonging the suffering of the most deprived EU citizens who could benefit from the food distribution programme.
In the Commission’s amended proposal of 3 October 2011 and in the Council’s position currently under review, all the substantial amendments made by Parliament on first reading on maintaining full EU funding for the programme have been included. The current level of 100% EU funding is maintained and, in order to ensure budgetary stability, an annual cap of EUR 500 million has been provided. The proposal that the food should come from the EU was also incorporated.
We emphasise the need to continue this programme of food distribution to the most deprived even after 2013, and urge the Commission to present a legislative proposal in this regard as soon as possible. Over 18 million people benefited from this programme in 2010."@en1
