"Mr President, Commissioner, ladies and gentlemen, through the assistance of the European Union, food banks have been carrying out notable and recognised social work, which must continue in the future with the full support of Parliament.
Solidarity and social and territorial cohesion is precisely one of the fundamental ideas behind European integration. The existence of a programme such as this is therefore vital in order to help achieve this.
The current economic crisis is hitting European citizens hard. Eighty million people are below the poverty line and 43 million people have to weigh up whether to include protein in their diet twice a week. We can use the European Union budget to make a cohesive effort, which includes the common agricultural policy item.
Ladies and gentlemen, as Members of this Parliament, we must encourage any initiatives to continue the food aid programme in 2014, and throughout the coming financial perspective period. The European Parliament has to forge an agreement with the Council and avoid selfishness at all costs in favour of European citizens."@en1
