I voted in favour of the resolution on the EU 2011 Report on Policy Coherence for Development. According to the resolution, development policies must be based on the recognition of the right of a country or a region to define by democratic means its own policies, priorities and strategies to protect its populations’ livelihoods in line with the UN International covenant on Economic, social and Cultural Rights.
I support the Commission’s commitment to supporting small producers and promoting fair, organic and ethical trade initiatives. I believe that smallholder farming is particularly relevant in combating hunger and that adaptation measures are priorities in the food security agenda. In addition, support for women smallholder farmers is especially relevant and should be increased. I voted in favour of developing an integrated approach to nutrition and setting up a dedicated trust fund to address the problem of malnutrition in developing countries and mobilising the necessary resources to deliver the basic interventions that could prevent the vast majority of malnutrition. To this end, it is essential for intervention to occur in particular in the critical 1 000-day window between conception and the age of two."@en1
