Because it is not possible to make amendments to the content of the Convention, in declaring my vote in favour of the recommendation I wish to express my agreement with some of the observations made in the report. The broadening of the list of Eligible Activities is in response to the adoption of a food assistance approach more suited to the times, to the donors’ potential and to the needs of the beneficiaries. The Food Assistance Committee could promote coordination policies, partly to reinforce the necessary conditions for adopting assistance plans in line with the general principles that underpin the EU’s cooperation and development policies such as respect for human and civil rights, a minimum framework of administration and government, essential levels of transparency, periodic checks of the results and the uses made of the aid. The whole system needs to evolve, from the original idea of using up agricultural surpluses into an effective culture of support and development of agricultural production in the beneficiary countries. Finally, I concur with the wish concerning the donors’ expression of their commitments solely in terms of value, because it is quite clear that being able to express them in terms of quantity is simply a legacy of a time when the global agricultural products market was less volatile."@en1
